Pinewood Derby Axle Upgrade negative camber?
Fast cars are usually ran with negative camber wheels. The easiest way to achieve this is buy using bent axles. With a negative camber upgrade, the wheel is forced to ride against the outer wheel hub eliminating side to side wheel travel which will eat away your speed. The tooling for this costs $25 (press and rail riding tool) and is suggested to be done using a hammer. We have installed the same tooling in bench press to get precise, repeatable results with no marring. We are happy to provide your axle set to canter of choice if this is something your would like.
