From Randy:
"We designed the Basic and Advanced Speed Kits to provide you with the key components needed to create a top-performing car at a reasonable price.
Use a Basic Speed Kit when using 'Speed Wheels and Axles', and use an Advanced Speed Kit when using raw (non-prepared) wheels and axles." |

To achieve top speed, your axles and wheel bores must be polished to a mirror-like finish. To create this finish, you need some serious polishing material.
Axle Polishing Kit - The industrial grade cushioned abrasive papers in this kit take the guess work out of polishing axles as they are designed for polishing metal to a high shine. The kit consists of one each of the following 4"x3" papers, plus instructions. Note that the last two papers are much finer than any commercially available sandpaper, and are finer than pumice. One set of axle polishing papers is enough to polish 8 axles.
- 30 micron - ~400 grit
- 15 micron - ~600 grit
- 8 micron - ~1350 grit
- 5 micron - ~1500 grit
- 3 micron - ~2500 grit
Axle Polish - A fine metal polish to put a final, high-shine on your axles. Just a dab on a clean rag is all it takes. Wheel Bore Polish - This industrial grade product will easily and safely remove microscopic pits and burrs inside the wheel bore. It is water soluble, plastic safe, and polishes to a one micron finish. Includes two pipe cleaners. Pipe Cleaners - Extra-fluffy pipe cleaners for polishing wheel bores, lubricating with graphite, and other uses. Fine Grit Sandpaper - This 800 grit sandpaper is used wet for polishing the tread surface and inside edge of the wheels. It can also be used for sanding between coats of paint. Includes one standard sheet of paper cut into six pieces.

From Randy:
"Max-V-Lube is a superior graphite for pinewood derby cars that puts the "X" in Maximum Velocity. We performed multiple controlled tests including inclined slide tests, weighted-wheel spin tests, and track tests. In all cases Max-V-Lube outperformed other graphite lubes. Therefore we highly recommend Max-V-Lube for your race. However, we are continuing to offer Tube-O-Lube as a low-cost option.
When applied properly, Krytox 100 is less messy and easier to use than graphite. Just make sure that non-dry lubes are allowed in your race, and then apply the lube per the included instructions. "Less is best", so take care to remove excess oil (excess oil not only makes a mess, but it also slows down the car!)." |
