Do NOT use super glue. It is runny and could run down the axel to where the wheel rides. A small dab of Elmer's or wood glue would work.

Sorry, but this video is pretty worthless. Doesn't explain how to see if it is being steered by front or rear wheels. Doesn't explain which way to rotate axles if veering left vs. right. Missing so many useful details. He may as well just make a 10 second video telling you to align your car.

I think you bent it to close to the nail head. Next time, stick the nail through the wheel...where the nail comes out, mark it with a perm marker. Then bend it from that point. I put it in my drill chuck and spin it against a slow running dremmel tool. Then put the nail in my vice just under the dremmel cut line. Then take a flat head SD and gently tap the cut line a couple times until you have a bent axle.

It’s not less friction that makes it faster, it’s spinning fewer wheels. It takes energy to spin the wheels. Lift one up, means one less wheel to spin. Friction is proportional to weight, reducing the surface area just puts more weight on less area, and friction remains the same. Fr

Our troop has to have all four wheels on the ground and the wheels have to have 1 3/4" clearance between wheels. Should I just go for straight down the track alignment or still try a rail rider? Also, if I'm cantering the wheels, do I really need to use the wheel spacer tool? How is that tool relevant if I'm cantering the wheels?

Good video, and thank you. Your advice to NOT use a hammer to tap in the nails to the car contradicts other instructions i have heard, such as using a Pro axle guide tool to guide the nail into the wood slot. Different school of thought i guess. If careful, using a hammer WILL work without damaging the wheel! Also if pinewood derby is supposed to be a Kid project mostly then using a hammer to tap in the nails is a great opportunity for the child to participate and do something rather than the dad doing it all. Some videos advise tapping the nail in without the wheel (part of the way) to loosen up the wood then pull the nail out with pliers then later tap in the nail with the wheel for final assembly. Thanks for your video, some useful tips in here.

Stop saying Scout Class rules are this or that, the official BSA rules are very basic. Each Pack and District may have their own rules that differ from the BSA rules so what may be legal for you could be illegal for me. If you don't know just ask!
