Derby Talk

I would guess BSA nails Made in China (If you can find any) with the Official BSA sticker on the tube and Maximum Velocity where they used the actual BSA nail before doing a bit of work on them.

Loud2ns, Good for you. I hope your teams are able to watch it as it happens.

Did you ever get a BSA wheel bore to go over a pin gage larger then .0965 without intentionally doing something to the bore?

Thank You. That will make it easy for everyone. I'm thinking there are thousands of AWANA racers that might have always wondered how they would do against a scout car. I realize the wheel and axle rules are very lenient but it could be lots of funny anyway. Perhaps a lot of the racers have never had...

Maximum Velocity is teaming up with the NPWDRL, Derby Evolution and Derby Worx to put on a FREE race for everyone. There will be 2 classes for lube. Choose graphite or oil. Wheels allowed are BSA, Pinecar, Maximum Velocity and AWANA. As Joel says, this is a race for FUN. You can watch your car go do...

OOBigFish, What size Pin gage do you have for an AWANA wheel?

What is the make of the Timer and does it show Elapsed time without a computer?

rrr, you have a special need of requiring 2 different sizes of Pin gages. You need a .0965 for BSA wheels and since you also race in AWANA you will need a gage to test those wheels. Perhaps someone on Derbytalk can help us with the size Pin gage needed. Building the gage mount is going to be very ea...

I've read this thread from the beginning, again, and I'd like to add a few things that might be of use to beginners. First, a .0965 Pin gage might improve FS's build for use on BSA wheels whether made in the USA or made in China. China wheels are probably gone forever. If money is no object, Knotty ...

Yep, you are Correct.

rrr, I think I have the answer for your friend. If he/she will go on Youtube and find "EASY Pinewood derby car WINS using Science", I think the question will be answered. If the question is not answered, Please come back. I'm wondering if the question is actually "How do I win a Pine ...

I invite everyone to read #2. I have always wondered why after a year I would use it and the glue would come out. Now I know. I have stored it laying on its side with no problem but I will now store it sitting straight up. I buy bottle 45198, which is .14 oz, and is the one Walmart sells. So far, no...

I'll bet the Easter Bunny will provide a Great Teacher to help them.

Loctite Super Glue, Gel Control, No drip, Easy Application. I like the side grips for dispensing. I always have a new container for back up. My main use with Derby work is to glue in the axles. I know what you're going to say but I do it anyway. It gives me a lot of comfort.

Try signing into Derbytalk 3 times a day, everyday for a while which I always do anyway. I know we both have Mac's whether that means anything or not. We both had the same problem. Mine came back automatically.
