2 oz total weight

Adjustments are easy, just break off a segment, even on race day!

Attach weight to bottom or counter-sink under the car. Screws included.

Approximately 2oz, zinc

Three 1 oz zinc round weights (approximately 3 oz total weight)

Round weights are inserted into your car, so they are hidden.

Just drill a 3/8" hole in the back of the block,
cut off the exact amount of weight you need, slide them in and cover the hole with wood putty.

A nice combination is a set of round weights and a set of stick-on weights or tungsten putty to get the exact weight you need.

Why Tungsten Weights are better

Tungsten gives you an advantage because it is about 1.8 times more dense than lead...
which means tungsten is about half the size for the same weight.

Since pinewood derby cars are so small it is important to place weight exactly where you need it.

The single tungsten cylinder on top (.5oz) weighs nearly the same as the three zinc cylinders (.75oz) on the bottom.

This gives you more flexibility in your car design,
because you can place weights more precisely in a smaller area for maximum speed in the flat part of the track.
