Derby Talk

Whoda, I wish I had more time to research and help you out. I am buried with work and leading up to http://www.TheWestCoastGrandPrix.com I do have some older Space Derby kits that came in a lot of PWD kits I got. I robbed a piece of balsa to build Sidecar. Other than that they should be complete it ...

Clock is counting down!

Murph,
You've been at this awhile. I know we've been discussing lot 0618.

If you had the ability to get wheels from any lot which one(s) would you look for to machine? Which are the best out of the box/sleeve?

Which mold numbers are best from that lot/lots?

Truly Inspirational - as always!!

So, the bore info you posted earlier is black only? Do you think they use different molds for the colored wheels? Or, do you think it is the material? I noticed the colored wheels have quite a lot of flashing on them. Do you worry mostly about OD because of inspection the wheel min OD? Do you also k...

More great info. What I was curious about Murph, assuming your wheel info posted in this thread is on the 2019 and newer wheels, was if white, green, pink, purple, and electric blue are the same, similar or different from the info you posted. Or, are you saying that when you went to the Scout Shop y...

Murph, Thank you for sharing your findings. I know you go thru a lot to produce higher quality wheels. I am curious about mold 15. It is listed with best overall, yet is neither large or small bore. I find that interesting. What makes it better? I also see mold 8 is now a large bore. That is not how...

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

Would like to have seen more.

Speedster I hope you will come race at http://www.TheWestCoastGrandPrix.com I'm sure what you are doing works. You have been doing it for years. For most it is more than enough to put them out front. I'm certain that over the years you have helped create hundreds if not thousands of memories that so...

I reached out to Derbyworx to see if they would modify and/or be doing so as to use like Po Body Jig. I was told no. I was disappointed, so I didn't go any further. Murph good to know. Did you check the drills using one of the known methods? If so, which? If no, how did you know you were getting goo...

Girl Scouts isn't much better. The Council has had a few, not very well attended events. My girls' troop is still meeting on Zoom for the youngest. The oldest hasn't had a meeting or event other than the 3 derbys we did in 3 counties in three days this summer since pre COVID. It's really sad. It is ...

Yes and no.
Activities yes.
Anything like before the lock down - not even close.

Good to hear that things are better outside of CA.

Awesome! Thanks!!

NICE! Thanks for sharing.

Do you, or anyone you know, have any of the original Puma (full round) weights?
