BSA Polished Axles
No need to sand, debur, file and polish your axles.
We did the hard part for you!
  • Burrs removed on axle shaft
    - You must remove these burrs of they will grind inside the wheel bore.

    Crimp marks removed from underside of head
    - Crimp marks must be removed or they will grind into your wheel, like ABS brakes!

    Nail head is cut back at an angle
    - Angling the head reduces friction where the head meets the wheel.

    Polished
    - The nail is then polished to remove imperfections. However, these nails are not as good as our Speed Axles above...we recommend a light polishing using our axle polishing kit below to get maximum performance.

The fastest wheels on the market, guaranteed! 

PRO BSA Speed Wheels
The Ultimate Speed Advantage

The fastest wheels on the market, guaranteed!

We won the District Race with these
special graphite-coated wheels!

Secret patented multi-step process. Wheels are precision sanded
to remove imperfections then perma-coated with moly lube.

The result is reduced friction, we like to call friction-free, where the wheel contacts the track.  In addition, and more importantly, friction is decreased where the wheel hub rubs against the car. 

Your car will fly down the track like on a frictionless cushion of air.

Matched BSA Wheel Set
Not all wheels are created equal


Why a matched set?
BSA manufactures wheels from 18 different molds, numbered 1 to 18 (#6 and #7 are not used because the mold is worn out). The wheels in your kit can be from any of the 16 remaining molds.


Problem is, each mold is slightly different. Wheels can have slightly outside diameters, different bore sizes, hubs and tread characteristics. When every milisecond counts, you want each wheel to be exactly the same because small differences will make the car slightly off balance affecting speed. Just like the car you drive, your wheels should be "balanced" to get optimal performance.

Pinewood Pro Matched wheel sets contain four wheels, each from the same mold to give you optimal performance, balance and speed.

NEW! Synthetic Oil that outperforms graphite.
Set your car apart from the pack.

NyOil II is a thin film synthetic lubricant that outperforms dry graphite!

Why buy NyOil II?

  1. Out performs graphite! ...your car is faster than competition
  2. Cleaner! ...no "black powder" mess
  3. Lasts Longer! ...when graphite has long since dropped off, NyOil II remains

To apply NyOil II

  • Simply apply two or three drops to a pipe cleaner and insert into the wheel to lube the inside of the wheel. Rub off excess oil.
  • Next, put two drops on each axle, near the head.
Helpful Hints
  • The key to using NyOil II : "less is more"...in other words, too much oil will increase drag. Only use a few drops and wipe off excess oil.
  • Do not mix graphite and NyOil
  • Do not apply NyOil to the outside of the wheel as this will leave residue on the track.
  • Some rules prohibit oil lubes. Obey the rules!

Pinewood Derby Tip of the Day

If you will be racing on a rough or uneven track, keep the center of mass of your car as low as possible to increase your car's stability. You can lower the center of mass by placing the weights as low as possible on the car.

Pinewood Derby car during construction, it can usually be glued back. Then use masking tape to hold the chip in place until the glue dries. If it is a small chip use wood putty to make the repair.
