Product Information
Official BSA axles bent 2.5 degrees and polished, used to cant the rear wheels of your car to make the wheels ride against the axle head where there is less friction so your car is faster. These bent axles are also used to create a rail rider car to keep the rear wheels away from the rail where there is more friction, thereby making your car faster.
A 2.5 degree bent axle can be used as a steering axle, but we recommend Pinewood Pro's 1.5 degree bent axle in a front wheel for steering your car with more accuracy.

Axles have been deburred and polished
Axles are bent 2.5 degrees so you can turn them to cant your two rear wheels
