Description
**IMPORTANT – Read Before Ordering**
- Wheels and axles are not included with the blocks.
- If you need the block to have four wheels on the ground, or plan to use Awana axles, then in addition to the block you will need to add a standard option to the shopping cart.
Benefits
You will get top performance from these blocks!
- Precision Axle Holes – The axle holes are precision drilled to improve alignment and speed.
- Raised Axle Hole – The front-left axle hole is drilled slightly higher so that the car runs on three-wheels. Tests consistently prove that three-wheel cars are faster than four-wheel cars.
