Turbo Axles Built for Speed (New Version)

When it comes to speed, axles matter more than many racers realize. Even small inconsistencies in standard axles can create added friction, vibration, or instability on the track. Turbo Derby’s axles are designed to reduce those variables and provide a cleaner starting point for tuning and alignment. The result is a setup that may help your car track straighter and run more consistently from heat to heat.

Used by the majority of professional racers on the league circuit, these axles are CNC-machined from military-grade stainless steel and will turbocharge your Pinewood Derby Car! National Champion Dan Inman (DWS Racing) aided with both the design and testing of these axles, resulting in the fastest axle on the market!

Turbo Axles are built with versatility in mind. They’re also optimized for both stock and modified/aftermarket wheels, giving families and experienced racers flexibility without sacrificing reliability. Whether you’re racing on a standard aluminum track or a wood surface, these axles support a wide range of track configurations.

To get the most speed out of your axles, prepare them with a Turbo Derby Axle Prep Kit!

Why Our Axles Make a Difference

When you’re building a competitive car, the small details matter.

Standard axles can vary quite a bit. Some aren’t perfectly straight. Some have rough spots you don’t notice until the car hits the track. Those tiny inconsistencies can create friction or a subtle wobble that shows up on race day.

That’s where Turbo Derby Axles come in.

Each of our axles is designed to give you a more reliable starting point. Cleaner surface. More consistent dimensions. A better foundation for tuning and alignment.

Instead of spending time correcting factory flaws, you can focus on testing, adjusting, and dialing things in. Whether you’re racing at the youth level or refining a league setup, dependable axles help make the entire build process smoother and more predictable.

Features of These Axles:

Perfectly straight AND round (unlike stock BSA axles)
Grooved shaft with small journals to minimize the impact of wheel bore imperfections.
Can be polished to a MUCH better finish than stock axles
Journals at the optimal location for maximum stability
Axles are available in two diameters—0.094" and 0.095"—with today's wheels having larger bores, which maximizes stability.
The shaft that enters the car is 0.090" in diameter.
Underneath the axle head is slightly tapered to minimize contact with the outer hub.
Bending groove for rail riding setups
Rounded tip to avoid damage to wheel bores (stock axles and other aftermarket axles do not have this)
A thicker head allows for a deeper tuning groove.
