Pinewood Pro's 1.5 Degree Bent Official Derby Axle for pine derby cars takes the stress out of getting your car to run straight. It's also great for steering your car gently into the rail to make a rail rider car.
Key Features:
The axle includes an Easy Turn slot in the axle head. This allows you to turn the axle with a screwdriver without damaging it.
The axle head is cut back to reduce friction where the axle contacts the wheel.
An exclusive graphite coating and polished shaft keeps friction to a minimum.
To win races, your car needs to steer straight so you do not lose speed when your car hits the guide rails. To make your car roll straight, replace one of your front axles with this Bent Steering Axle from Pinewood Pro. Orient the slot vertically, straight up and down. Then, roll your car. If it is steering to the left or to the right, your car will lose speed.
To make it steer straight, simply insert a screwdriver into the slot on your steering axles. Then, turn it a few degrees left or right and roll your car again. Repeat until your car is rolling straight… it's as easy as that!
This Official Derby Steering Axle will help increase your car's speed while saving hours of time trying to fine tune your car's steering.
Each package contains ONE single polished axle with a 1.5 degree bend for steering from the Official Scout kit.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
THE 1.5 DEGREE BEND IS A VERY SLIGHT BEND THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE WITH THE NAKED EYE. However, if you roll the bent axle on a flat surface, you will see that it does not roll smoothly compared to an unbent axle.
