Review on ๐ŸŒฒ Pinepro Block Pine Derby Kits by Emmanuel Winschel

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Something so simple goes so wrong.

Wow! A block of wood, some wheels and some nails. I couldn't believe how complicated this was getting. I built six cars and each had a problem, some had the same problem. axle nails; They are curled and don't go through the wheel hub very well. The nails then enter a groove designed to keep the axle straight; it's not, nails tend to tilt up whether you press (hard to do) or use a hammer. Play with the wheel/axle too much and they will start to splinter. I had to super glue the hubs on 4 different bikes, the plastic was of poor quality. Most cars had to go to the garage for repairs and none drove straight. This is not recommended if you are looking for something simple and light.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Socket required
