From Randy: "One of the most common questions I am asked is: 'Which is the fastest kit?' The answer is that only a portion of the speed of the car comes from the body and weight, while most of the speed comes from the wheels, axles, lubrication, and alignment. Thus, the adage:
'The body is for show; the wheels and axles are for go.'
Nevertheless, if all things are equal, then the lowest profile car will tend to be faster. Ranked from lowest profile to highest profile, the car bodies are: Velocinator, Predator, Detonator, Wing, Accelerator, Low-Rider II, Wedge SE, Wedge, Coupe, and Sports Car." |

If your club or organization does not require a specific kit type, or if you dissatisfied with the kits you currently use, then consider the features of our basic car kits:
- Soft pine blocks, which accurately duplicate the dimensions of the Cub Scout/BSA block.
- Speed axles, with no burrs or crimp marks. Use them as is, or polish a little if desired. We supply five, so you have a spare.
- Top-quality, PineCar-brand wheels to give great performance
These kits make great replacements for kits with hubcaps (which tend to fall off during the race) and Awana kits (much higher quality wood block).
