Re: Selling out! Son is done with Scouts this year

The depths of my addiction went deeper than first projected. I actually have over $400 in tools!

Selling out! Son is done with Scouts this year

I have a vast collection of Derby works tool and supplies. Well over $350 invested. I'll post pictures later.
The first $214 gets it all!

Re: Do you hold back info locally?

I too will share if asked. Sporty was a great help to our family and have pack and district wins to show for it. There are a few boys in our pack that either do not have the resources or family support. Love helping them out.

Re: Bore wax, burnish, or both?

Re: Announcing Mid America Pinewood Derby 2014

We'd be in for running a car in both divisions. Our pack allows only graphite but would love to try our hand at oil.

Re: So your scout race is done for the year, Whats next ?

I'm running in an adult fund raiser next weekend. It's a bone stock PWD race that supports the local cub scouts. Then in two weeks my Bear Cub will race at Districs. Last year he placed second by .002 average. I know we both learned a lot on DT this year and will see if we were able to apply it to t...

Re: Hub on wheels from China

I built a FS inspired tire gauge to check run out. The wheels are very tight on a #41 drill shank. This told me the bore was on the small side. I'm trying to round the wheels for use on a play car for one of my boys. Need the practice and cannot afford a lathe. So far I have got them to .002, down f...

Re: Hub on wheels from China

Shame I wasted $7.00 on junk wheels. I was thinking that the hub prep would be easier until I seen the run out. I don't have a lathe.
