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.

tungsten and lead size comparison picture

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:
  1. You can pack more weight in a smaller area giving you more flexibility in your car design.
  2. You can place weight exactly where you need it for maximum speed.
    (See weight placement in Winning Pinewood Derby Secrets)
  3. Tungsten has the added advantage of being non-toxic, so you do not need gloves to handle it.
  4. Diameter is 3/8". Just drill a 3/8" hole and slide them in. Use wood putty or glue
    to seal the hole.
