EASY Pinewood Derby Car WINS using Science!!!

7 simple steps that ACTUALLY MATTER to building a winning pinewood derby car. I built a car in 45 minutes using these steps and crushed all the competition by more than 2 car lengths (proof is in the video :) Special thanks to Steve at DerbyMonkey.com for providing his expertise and materials for the video.

Ride on 3 wheels 4. Lightweight wheels 5. Bent polished axles 6. Railride/alignment 7. Lots o' graphite ***HELPFUL LINKS*** Dr. Acton's video: http://pinewoodphysics.com/index.html Pre-polished, bent axles to purchase: http://www.derbymonkeygarage.com/pre-bent-pinewood-derby-axles-p/1404.htm Also on derbydust.com which is where the photo came from Lightweight wheel options to purchase: https://www.derbymonkeygarage.com/wheels/ More details on polishing the axles: http://youtu.be/wdd-ZFbemIU Axle bender tool: http://youtu.be/ZpNRt0F1YXQ More details on Rail Rider alignment: http://youtu.be/9H96uufnygk Materials used in the video provided by www.derbymonkeygarage.com. It's also the only place I could find the pre-polished bent polished axles.
