Car Construction Aid

Customers who assist in building Pinewood Derby cars find the graphite aid a valuable tool for enhancing their children's or grandchildren's cars, leading to improved performance. The dry graphite with moly additive is used on every car and there's still plenty left over.

Quality


I use this in my torpedo heater pump and it worked great


My kid's car this year made it to districts and for that race we totally re-did the axles and wheels, including using this graphite powder.


The treated side kept spinning fast and smooth for 20 seconds longer than the untreated side.


It does come out as a fine powder so it’s best to spin the wheel on the axle(nail) as you tap some on it to make sure that coats it.

Competitiveness


Our pack derby can be so competitive, and since my construction skills are limited i looked for any way to improve my son's car.
