Extended Truck
Pinewood Derby Car Design







THE TRUCK is fun and easy to make. It provides great flexibility for fine-tuning the weight position to help achieve top performance.

In addition to the car kit and basic hand tools, you will need the following supplies to build THE TRUCK:

• 3/8" Brad Point or Forstner drill bit (can be larger or smaller)



• Coping saw or another type of saw



• 2.5 to 3 ounces of weight (can be lead, tungsten, or other). The truck in the photo uses lead with simulated stones on top.



• The 'windows' were made from a black acetate sold at hobby stores. Striping is accomplished with 1/8" black pinstriping on either side of reflective sticker material (hobby/craft store).



• The extended wheel base can be created by either cutting new axle slots with two hacksaw blades, or by drilling axle holes with the Pro-Body Tool. Instructions and templates are provided in the car plan booklet.
