Review on ๐ŸŽ๏ธ Ideal Performance: Official Pine Derby Ultra Lite Wheels for a Winning Race! by Eric Surabhi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Are you considering a purchase? Read below.

This is my first time writing a review, but I felt compelled to provide a few pointers to those considering a $24.95 purchase. In addition to the $6 tube of graphite powder, I bought these wheels and cylindrical tungsten weights. I'm usually of the do-it-yourself mindset, but unfortunately I didn't have access to a lathe/CNC machine. My son won all ten races and took first place overall. The average speed was just over 197 mph with an average time of 2.50 seconds. I believe these wheels influenced the driving performance of his car. My only criticism is that we found these wheels difficult to align. After spending over two hours correcting a severe left turn on race day, we gave up and submitted a misaligned race car. Not sure if I can attribute this issue to the wheels or because we are newbies and impatient/frustrated with the alignment process. My advice if you want to win would be to buy these bikes and give yourself plenty of time before the race. for alignment. Much luck!
