Dads division pinewood derby. Anything goes!

This was the end result of a quick and dirty build. I had to put it together the night before. No real prep on the wheels or spindles was done.... 2 cent tour to follow.

This high speed motor just sizzled. It sounds like a dental drill.


Tire attached to motor.




All the electrical hardware in this build came from one of Bradley's old hover craft toys. It had alot of power and burned out all the way across the finish line. There was at least 4-5 car legnths lead. Fun.


The whole kit and kaboodle. It was a real success and all the kids at the derby took turnes racing it. It was beat to death by the 8th or 9th turn. If you want to see the video of it, just leave comment with your home email and I'll shoot it over to ya!
