Are Hobby Lobby pinewood derby kit cars legal for Boy Scouts?
Different packs have different rules so the best answer is to check with your pack. As far as the car body, wheels and axles most packs only allow what is in the box to be used. Most of the priemium axles and wheels you see on sale are not allowed. A point of contention is that the BSA sells someof these items. Often the parts are not allowed by the pack despite that fact that they are sold by the BSA under the BSA logo.
I did a search on the Holly Lobby site and only saw stickers and similar "embellishements". Generally that kind of thing used to just decorate the car is allowed. Precarved and plastic bodies etc that are sold at some other hobby shops are not.
Again, if in doubt, as your pack.
