Re: Let's start a Convoy!

That was a cool race, I was the one transporting them back, scared me on that first run and I almost lost one that tried to fly off the back of the stop section. Great job guys!!!!

Re: Making Wheels Round

You are indeed correct. I messed up and left out a (0). Thank you for catching that. If I have a .0965 wheel bore. The most I have seen is a .0970 change. .0005.. Sorry about that. Many times. My .0965 will just be a tad loose. Yet the .0970 will be to tight to fit still. I only have .0005 increment...

Re: Something Very Special... 2015 Mid America Pinewood Derb

How do you feel about the spoon cars ? The design and shape. You pleasedo with them ? Sporty the spoon is awesome. I think that once you understand the key design principles of PWD cars you can make any shape/style reasonably fast... but the spoon is something that is very achievable with minimal t...
