your car a breeze.
Pro
Hub Tool
Reduce Wheel Friction
The Pro Hub
tool has 3 important uses in building a Pinewood Derby car
and is the cornerstone of performance.
Sizing wheel hub bores - Wheel hubs can vary in size in the
molded wheels that come in your kit. This tool will allow you
to ream the wheel hubs all to the same size. This is one of
the most important steps in wheel alignment because it allows
the car to sit square with equal radius's on the wheels (distance
from the hub to the tread).
Squaring hubs - All wheel hubs have defects from the molding
process that prevents them from being mounted correctly on
a mandrel. This tool will square the in-board hub to the centerline
of the wheel, which allows for the most accurate tread face
finishing.
Coning the hubs - All derby cars will benefit from coning
the in-board hub for a reduction in body to hub friction. Body
contact is reduced by 95%.

Wheel Shaver XT
Eliminate Wheel Imperfections
The Pro Wheel Shaver is one of the
easiest, most efficient and cost effective ways to create perfectly
round wheels from a molded standard wheel. Not all wheels are
created equally, but with a Pro Wheel Shaver, they can be made
Hi-Performance. The Pro Wheel Shaver can minimize speed loss
caused by the following wheel defects:
Out of round wheels cause improper alignment causing your
Pinewood Derby car to pull to one side or oscillate. With this
tool, you can shave the high spots off until your wheels are
completely round.
The inside edge of a most wheels is not straight. The most
perfect aligned cars will still touch the center strip a few
times on the way down the track. The inside edge of the wheel
will determine what happens when contact is made. If the inner
edge is not true, it will cause the car to sharply turn in
the other direction slowing the car down.
The Pro Wheel Shaver requires the Pro Hub tool. The Wheel shaver
is available separate if you already have the Pro Hub tool or
you can purchase both at a discount.

Pro
Axle Press
Eliminate Axle Imperfections
Before After
Is this what your axles look like?
I hope not! But, your axles do have a
lot
in common with the above picture.
Most axles are NAILS!!! They are not straight and
they are not round and the axle head is not at right angles
to the axle shaft. The result is FRICTION and a slow car.
All you need is the Pro Axle Press and a
hammer to straighten the shaft of the axle, make the axle round
and square the head of the axle to the centerline of the shaft.
The Pro Axle Press can make your car faster by:
Taper the head to reduce friction between
the outer hub of the wheel and the axle head.
Reduces wheel vibrations by making axle
shaft round.
Makes correct axle alignment easy so your
car will run straight down the track.
Pro
Body Tool
Make Perfect Axle Holes
The Pro Body Tool is a drilling aid to help create
correctly placed axle holes on the body or correct mis-aligned
slots in stock blocks when rules require their use.
Easily place the axle holes perpendicular
to the centerline of the car so your car will go straight
down the track.
Locate all of the axle holes at the same
height on the body so the car sits square on the track.
Reduce friction!!! By correctly placing
the axles in the body, a builder will not have to bend
or tweak the axles to get the car to run straight.
A hand drill is required. This tool is equipped with guide
hole for BSA, PineCar, and other kits requiring a #44 drill
bit. A #44 drill bit is included.
