Re: Pinewood Derby Times, Volume 18, Issue 8 - January 9, 2019
CONGRATULATIONS ! Good Job. Do you have a picture of the winning car? Was there anything done to the car that "stood out" to give it speed? Unfortunately no photo. By the time the end of the race came, things were a bit chaotic, and I did not get a close look at the car. I know it was ext...

Re: Pinewood Derby Times, Volume 18, Issue 6 - December 12, 2018
Nice topic! A little surprised you didn't mention any of the runout testing tools that can be either built or purchased. Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. I did mention tools in passing ("Barring an expensive test jig"), but I wanted to focus the article on spin testing, which is what the vas...

I would not prohibit her racing, as long as separate car is built for each event.

Re: BSA Wheels and axles
I set the bore size to the smallest it could be and still fit the Pro-Hub Tool.Since you raised the possibility, why aren't the Max-V wheels made with tighter bores, then?

Re: BSA Wheels and axles
The reason for the size of our speed axles is to fit in BSA-size slots and holes. If the diameter was larger then they would be too tight. Awana axles are larger, but so are the slots on the Awana block. A better solution would be for BSA to reduce the diameter of the wheel bore to better fit it axle.
