Why not write a brief review about how well ran on your hardware? What is the difference between Pinewood Derby and LEGO Derby Car racing? LEGO Derby is a new, cool way to race cars! It's all about building a car made from LEGO parts and racing them down a pinewood derby track. You get all the fun of pinewood derby racing without the extensive time it takes to make a car from wood. Just snap together LEGO parts, right? There are a few problems to solve. Commercial LEGO wheels and axles do not work on a pinewood derby track. First, you need the perfect wheel spacing so your car fits the lanes on a pinewood derby track. Second, you need the correct track clearance. Third, you want your LEGO Race Car to be fast! LEGO parts are not made for racing like pinewood derby car parts, so a car built with LEGO parts will be slow. The plastic LEGO axles are slow. The rubber LEGO wheels are slow. Lastly, if you've raced pinewood derby cars, you know that you need to add weight to your car to reach maximum velocity.
LEGO race cars on plastic track The secret is Pinewood Pro's new PRO Brick Wheel Assembly : LEGO derby cars on Pinewood Derby track To add weight, snap on a Zinc Brick. (See the silver colored Zinc Bricks on the back of the LEGO Derby cars in the image above.) Pinewood Pro used their engineering skills and 15+ years of pinewood derby racing expertise to design the perfect parts to bring the fun of pinewood derby car racing to LEGO Derby car racing. The PRO Brick is a custom designed part that supports a Speed Axle and custom Ultra-Lite Wheel designed for speed. The PRO Brick, Speed Axle and Ultra-Lite Wheel are pre-assembled to give the perfect pinewood derby track clearance and the Wheel is preset with the perfect gap to minimize wobble and friction. Each PRO Wheel Assembly weighs only .11oz (3.15g) so your car starts fast, accelerates fast and allows you to place more weight on the car body giving your car more inertia through to the finish line. Individual wheel assemblies gives more flexibility to move wheels.
More flexibility means more creativity. Just snap the PRO Brick Wheel Assembly into any LEGO part and you're off to the races. PRO Brick Wheel Assembly to Race LEGO Derby Cars We designed these parts for speed so your your LEGO Derby Car will be fast. A fast car needs fast wheels and fast axles . The PRO Derby Wheel is Ultra Light, yet sturdy. The axles are nickle-plated comparable to our best pinewood derby speed axle. This new Wheel-Axle combination will make your LEGO Derby Car zoom down the track comparable to the fastest pinewood derby cars. Lastly, you need weight, since your car flys down the track from the force of gravity. Just like pinewood derby cars, you want your LEGO Derby Car to have the maxiumum weight allowed in your race rules so your car has the inertia to speed to the finish line. The easiest way to add weight to your car is with our new Derby Zinc Brick. Just snap this zinc weight anywhere on your car just like any other LEGO part. Each brick weighs .44oz.
You can easily move this weight to adjust the center of gravity for optimal performance. For more speed tips, the Winning Pinewoood Derby Secrets also applies to LEGO Derby Car racing. Zinc Brick Weights for LEGO Derby Cars If you want to build a LEGO Pinewood Derby Car, you need to build your car on top of the "pine wood" derby wooden block that comes with your official pinewood derby kit. In addition, you need to use the axles and wheels that come with your official kit. All pinewood derby races require using the parts that come with your car kit. Your kit could be the BSA kit for Cub Scouts or the Awana Grand Prix car kit or other similar pinewood derby kit.

Lego Racers är ett racingspel med Lego-tema släppt 1999 av Lego Media och High Voltage Software. Spelet går ut på att man kan bygga sin egen legobil eller använda färdigbyggda legobilar och tävla i 7 olika världar mot 7 regerande mästare. Man måste komma åtminstone på tredje plats för att komma vidare men om man kommer på första plats så vinner man byggsatsen för den mästarens bil och gubbe man besegrat så man kan bygga en ny bil med och en ny förare.
De 6 första världarna består av fyra banor, där de tre första världarna har helt olika banor medan de tre följande har samma som sina föregående men med spegelvända banor. Den 7:e världen har bara en bana, Rocket Racer-banan, där man måste komma först direkt för att vinna spelet. Spelet blev en stor succé och efterföljdes 2001 av Lego Racers 2. Lego Racers fanns tillgängligt till PC (Windows), Playstation, Nintendo 64 och Game Boy Color. Det var det enda spelet med Lego-tema som släpptes till Nintendo 64.
