Pro Rail Rider Tool (DWXPRT01)

The Pro Rail Rider Tool is a precision alignment aid for Derby car builders, designed to set axle alignment using the Rail-Rider method for a straight, fast car even without a test track. It supports axle canting of 1.5° or 2.5°, with alignment adjustments that are straightforward and designed to reduce friction across the car. A Pro Axle Press is required to use the tool.

For fine-tuning, a 3/16" strip of business card placed around the axle head adds about 0.5° of cant, expanding the tuning options to 1.5°, 2.0°, 2.5°, and 3.0°. This approach makes it easier to dial in precise alignment and achieve consistent, fast performance on race day without a test track.

Overview

The Pro Rail Rider Tool is an innovative solution designed specifically for builders aiming to achieve precise alignment of their Derby cars using the Rail-Rider method. This unique approach allows for the creation of straight, fast, and easily aligned cars, even without a test track.

This tool facilitates bending axles at precise angles of 1.5° and 2.5° for optimal axle canting. Making alignment adjustments is straightforward, and it significantly reduces friction throughout the car, simplifying the overall alignment process. Builders can achieve impressive speeds without needing a track, although it should be noted that a Pro Axle Press is required for operation.

A helpful tip for builders is to cut a 3/16-inch strip from a business card and place it around the axle at the head, which adds an additional 0.5 degrees. This adjustment provides a range of tuning options including 1.5°, 2.0°, 2.5°, and 3.0°.
