I ordered this just to help so they weren't coming in last in every heat, and to our surprise their cars which were pretty competitive!!!They ended up taking 7th and 9th place!I believe the combination of polishing the axles (nails) and adding the graphite powder is the key here. If you do this on a car that has properly balanced weight and aerodynamics, it will absolutely help.Gave it 4 stars only because the packaging could be improved like...1. Zip lock baggies for the various powders to avoid messes and for repeated uses2. Color coding ir at least numbers on the different sand papers would help... It's difficult to tell which is the fine sandpaper after you cut off several thin strips and cycle through a few tires. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good kit for beginners *by S***K on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on June 6, 2012* It's true that the book didn't come with the kit, and I normally wouldn't give 4 stars for an incomplete product, but there's simply so much info on the Internet, I'm not sure one more source would have told me anything new. What the kit does have is everything you need to maximize wheel performance. The mandrel worked fine. I discovered the stock bit holder on my dremmel wasn't fine enough to grip the axles, so I had to buy a different bit holder (one more expense in the pinewood money pit). With the new bit, sanding and polishing the axles was easy, though we took turns because it took a while to get the inside of the nail head smooth. Graphite was included, but I used a liquid lubricant for less mess. The car weighed exacty 5 oz on race day and won 3 out of 3 races, beating out his fellow first graders. I think this kit played a big role in my son's victory, especially in the last round, where all the competition was properly weighted and it came down to who had the fastest wheels. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Equipment is good; book is missing *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on April 12, 2013* THE GOOD: All the equipment that is there is easy to use.THE BAD: The "Official Pinewood Derby raceday log/tips and tricks book" is missing, as other reviewers have noted.WHAT YOU GET:- A mandrel. This is a device that lets you mount a wheel on a drill and spin it to sand out rough edges. It's easy enough to use, as long as you have a drill.- Several grades of sandpaper.- Pumice powder. My kid had a good time mixing it into paste and applying it.- Graphite powder. This is supposed to be a good lubricant.- Four axles (that is, nails). Not sure that these are any better than what is already in the standard pinewood derby kit. We went with what was in the kit to be sure we were within the rules.- Instruction sheet. This is relatively easy to follow.COMMENTS:- A Cub Scout will need a parent's help with a good part of this, since much of the work involves a drill.- My scout had a good time working with me on tuning his car.- Ultimately, it's not clear to me that this makes much difference in the speed of the car. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2737280-revell-pinewood-derby-tuning-set-speed-kit](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2737280-revell-pinewood-derby-tuning-set-speed-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
