Product Review

The PRO 2.5 degree bent axle is a single machined axle made from Pinewood Pro's Grooved Super Speed Axles. This axle is not from the BSA Cub Scout Kit so most Cub Scout rules do not allow this axle....check your rules! This axle is typically used to adjust the cant of the rear axles on your pinewood derby car so your rear wheels migrate towards the nail head rather than the car body. This technique reduces friction. It can also be used to create a rail rider car. We recommend Pinewood Pro's 1.5 degree bent steering axle to steer the front wheels but the 2.5 degree bent axle can be used on a front wheel too. IMPORTANT NOTES: Package contains a single (1) bent axle. THE 2.5 DEGREE BEND IS A VERY SLIGHT BEND THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE WITH THE NAKED EYE. However, if you roll the bent axle on a flat surface, you will see that it does not roll smoothly compared to an unbent axle.
