Pinewood Derby Wheel and Axle Prep

In this video I'll go over how I prepare my wheels and axles for both graphite and oil. Please stay until the end for the chance to win a prepped set of wheels and axles!

Wow, incredibly impressed by your channel. I see your credits in the Turbo Derby book. If one wants to build a fast car, this channel is all you need.

I'm 64 years old, and building my first Pinewood Derby style car for our Grand Prix at church. I've helped with "Tech Support" for the past 3 years, but that has been the extent of my involvement. Last year, the church added an "Adult Class" in the Grand Prix, so I decided to build and enter a car this year. Thanks for the video.

Great video, I am about ready to start prepping my wheels. You state with sand paper on tread surface. Do you just mean the inner and outer edge, or do you actually sand the whole tread?

[@mikemcguire2550]

I normally sand the entire tread but the inner edge on the rears, and the outer edge on the front need to be sharp.
