Weights are essential for racing. Tungsten is the best weights so they move the Speed Gauge further while all other weights move the Speed Gauge equally.
- Be sure your car is fully weighted to get the maximum velocity as it exits the ramps onto the flat part.
- Weights come in many styles. Select based on your car syle.
- Also consider placement for optimal center of gravity.
- Tungsten is the densist weight so you can pack more in a smaller space.
