Summary
This section is for those of you that have skipped through the website quickly, or just want a recap of the important bits before purchasing.
1) The DERBY*GOKIT® includes an automotive style steering mechanism, wheels, instructions, templates and all parts needed to build the "BASIC" soapbox racer, with the exception of a half sheet of 5/8" plywood, nails, screws, glue and paint. If you are looking to build the "BASIC" soapbox racer, you will need to purchase these items separately from your local hardware store. The "BASIC" soapbox racer and what's included in each DERBY*GOKIT® are shown in the figures below. (Pillows are also not included).
2) The kit does not include brakes, but does include illustrations of three brake designs in the instructions that come with the kit. The type of brakes used in downhill races are sometimes specified by race organizers. These brake designs will require additional materials to be purchased from the hardware store; what you will need will depend on the brake design you require.
3) The kit does not include a pre-manufactured steering wheel. There are instructions and templates for a steering wheel that can be made from the half sheet of 5/8" plywood purchased for the "BASIC" racer and fastened to the kits steering shaft with supplied steering plate and bolts.
4) The instructions that come with the kit are shown at the following link www.soapboxes.com/instructions.
5) Assembly and basic carpentry is required!!! Building the soapbox is half the fun (and educational); for both you and your child!
