Pinewood Derby Car Kits, Parts, Weights, Decals & Supplies

Build, customize and finish your next Pinewood Derby car with kits, blocks, parts, weights, decals, tools and supplies from MegaHobby. Whether you're starting with a basic car block or adding the finishing touches to a custom design, our Pinewood Derby department brings together products for the complete project.

Pinewood Derby combines hands-on building, creativity and friendly competition in a project that can be enjoyed by young builders and adults working together. A simple wooden block can become a traditional race car, an imaginative custom design or something completely unique through shaping, sanding, painting, decorating and careful assembly.

Pinewood Derby Car Kits & Blocks

Start your project with Pinewood Derby Kits and Blocks. The body is the foundation of the build and gives each builder the opportunity to decide what the finished car will become.

Some builders prefer a straightforward racing shape, while others use the project as an opportunity to create a more elaborate custom design. Cutting, shaping and sanding the body allows the original block to develop into a car with its own profile and personality.

Pinewood Derby Custom Parts & Weights

Explore Pinewood Derby Custom Parts and Weights for products used to modify and customize a build. Additional components give builders more options when planning the appearance and configuration of a Pinewood Derby car.

Weights are another important part of Pinewood Derby preparation because builders commonly need to bring the finished car within the rules established for their particular race. Always check the regulations for your local event before making final modifications, since permitted dimensions, weight and construction requirements can vary by organization or race.

Pinewood Derby Decals & Body Skins

Give your car a finished identity with Pinewood Derby Decals and Body Skins. Graphics and decorative finishes can transform a simple painted body into a distinctive race car and provide another way for builders to personalize their project.

Decals can be used to add numbers, graphics and other visual details, while body skins provide additional decorative options for builders looking for a particular appearance.

Paint, Glue & Tools for Pinewood Derby Cars

Browse Pinewood Derby Paint Kits, Glue and Tools for supplies used throughout construction and finishing. Building a car can involve shaping, sanding, assembly, surface preparation, painting and decoration, so having the appropriate supplies on hand can make the project easier to complete.

For additional workbench equipment, visit Tools & Supplies for cutting tools, sanding products, adhesives, rulers and other general hobby supplies. Builders looking for additional finishing options can also explore the MegaHobby Paint Store for model paints, primers and related products appropriate to their projects.

Design a Pinewood Derby Car of Your Own

One of the most enjoyable parts of Pinewood Derby is that every car can be different. Builders can begin with the same basic type of block and produce completely different results through body shape, paint, graphics, added details and finishing choices.

The project also gives younger hobbyists an opportunity to experience many basic model-building skills, including measuring, planning, sanding, painting and assembly. Working through those steps can make the finished car more meaningful because the builder has participated in creating it from the beginning.

Prepare for Race Day

Before completing a Pinewood Derby car, check the official rules for the specific race or organization in which the car will compete. Requirements for overall dimensions, maximum weight, wheels, axles and permitted modifications can differ between events, and the local rules should always determine how a competition car is prepared.

Once the design is planned, MegaHobby can help bring the project together with Pinewood Derby kits and blocks, custom parts, weights, decals, body skins, paints, glue and tools for the journey from a plain wooden block to race day.
