Re: Pics of my first car.
thanks for thr props onehour, I fully admit to having little to no real tips for speed, I think if I won a race there would be anarchy, cats and dogs living together in perfect harmony, utter pandimonium!

Re: Pics of my first car.
That is fantastic. This the first step in what, hopefully, will be many great pinewood memories. You and your son should be proud. Good luck at your race.

Re: Newest Pinewood Project for 2010
Thank you. I hope your son gets inspired to make the car he dreams about making, that is why we do these. We want the boys in our pack to appreciate their cars, making them the real trophy, and if they get a derby trophy, well then that is just that much better for them. They seem to come away with ...

Re: Our first 2010 car
Thanks, I have to admit, COM is something I have never considered, I have no idea where it is, I would guess it is more towrds the rear od the car, as on our track, rear dominate weight seems to be the key to good speeds.

Re: Sally - From the movie cars - UPDATED PICTURES!!!
I have a question for you in regard to the decals. I tried them for the first time this year, and did not have real great results. I believe to be beacuse of the fixative you spray on the sheet, too heavy I think, do you have a trick for that?

Re: Our first 2010 car
I am curious, you dont have an issue with the car "wadering" back and forth only using 3 wheels? I did a crocadile car, the wheels were offset (see pic), it wanders left and right something terrible.

I always make sure the boys get th...

Re: Newest Pinewood Project for 2010
I appreciate that. I think it would be hillarious if the pool table beat the woody in a race.
