The purpose of adding lubricant is to reduce friction and add speed. The axle lube kit featured here allows you to burnish your axles with graphite, filling any small scratches in the metal and leaving behind a thin, slick film. For ultimate speed, check out DuPont's pure Krytox®. If allowed by the local rules, this is the best lubricant available.

Derby Dust® offers one of the best pure Pinewood Derby Graphite Lube on the market designed specifically for pinewood derby car events. In compliance with standard BSA rules, the techs at Derby Dust® designed the ultimate Pinewood Derby Graphite Lube for derby cars by utilizing high quality pure graphite blends. Using only pure graphite at different flake size, we ensure that every possible part of your metal axles and plastic wheel will be coated with graphite to reduce the static and kinetic friction forces. Reducing friction will make a faster car.

The key to gaining the fastest pinewood derby speed is using a successful graphite lube. By building layers of graphite lube with our break-in process, racers will reduce friction between the plastic wheel and the metal axle. With reduced friction, the pinewood derby wheels will spin faster. Therefore, the cub scout pinewood derby car will reach the that finish line quicker.

The purpose behind Pinewood Derby Graphite Lube is to make a car faster. What we want to do is reduce that kinetic and static friction forces. During the race, the wheel hubs will rub on the axles. You can manually reduce those friction forces through axle and wheel preparation. However, even if after you have properly prepared and polished your axles and wheels, there can still be more done to reduce friction. Choosing the best lube is the final step. Every millisecond adds up!

Since Pinewood Derby rules and regulations are set at the local level by the officials running the derby, it's always important to make sure that your car falls within those established rules. For Pinewood Derby lubricant specifications, some district or pack rules only allow the use of dry lubricants, in which case the best Pinewood Derby lubricant is often a graphite lubricant.

Your scout rules will probably require that you use a dry lube. If so, use quality graphite, such as Derby dust® Dry Lube graphite powder. We must lubricate all friction points when installing wheels and axles. And then even take it further by “breaking-in” those parts. Most rules that I have read address this specifically: graphite or oil. This will tell you 2 things: what lube you need and what polish level your axles need to be at.
