Why use Tungsten???
Tungsten gives you an advantage because it is about 1.8 times denser than lead,
which make it is about half the size.

The
single tungsten cylinder on top weighs .5 oz and is 7/16" long.
The bottom lead cylinders weigh .7 oz and are 1 5/8" long!
Tungsten gives you four advantages:
-
You
can pack more weight in a smaller area giving you more flexibility
in your car design.
-
You
can place weight exactly where you need it for maximum speed.
(See weight placement in Winning
Pinewood Derby Secrets)

Tungsten
has the added advantage of being non-toxic, so you do not need
gloves to handle it.
-
Diameter
is 3/8". Just drill a 3/8" hole and slide them in.
Use wood
putty or glue
to seal the hole.
