Tungsten Cylinder Weights 3oz

$16.95 each
Tungsten is very dense, making it the best weights because you can pack more weight in a smaller area so you can get the perfect center of gravity (COG). With the optimal COG, you are transferring all potential energy to kinetic energy, giving your car maximum velocity.

4.7 out of 5 stars
Eight 3/8" diameter cylinders weights for precision pinewood derby car weighting. The four .5oz cylinders are .44"long, two .3oz cylinders are .27" long and two .2oz cylinders are .18" long.
Tungsten is the best weight for pinewood derby cars because it is about half the length of an equivalent lead weight and about a third the length of Zinc weights. Therefore, tungsten allows you to add weight exactly where you need it on your car. You can also remove more wood from your car, giving you complete car design freedom.
Cylinders are 3/8" diameter so you can use a standard size drill bit for the hole.

Only way to go for bulk weight.
Pack more weight in less room! Easy to place. We like the option for combinations with the different sizes.
Add to the back or underside easily.

quick shipping and perfect for my needs
I was surprised at the price of these little weights in general but the ordering was easy and the shipping quick. I am using them to add weight to the plastic handles for a pair of kung fu butterfly training swords, so probably not your typical customer.

Slug Sizes not accurate
I did not receive 6 tall slugs like I did last year. I received 4 tall slugs and 4 short slugs. Both add up to 3 Oz. but I assumed I would receive the same shaped slug. I still had the part number and bag from last years order and they stated the same part number.

Great weights but photo sorta misleading
These are great weights and we've used them for all of our derby cars over the years. We typically build a streamlined design and these weights are perfect for packing a lot of weight into smaller spaces.
I'm knocking off a star because the picture and description really should more accurately reflect what you receive

Condensed Energy!
A wonderful product! While expensive, these will indeed enable one to take full advantage of the power of gravity within low-profile and smaller-sized car body designs. Won first place in pack division, and our car will now compete at the district level!

Tungsten vs Lead Weights!
I am a Tiger Den Leader and Cubmaster and conscientious parents have indicated that they much prefer these weights over lead weights. They are very accurate in their weight.

Great Service!
I ordered the tungsten cylinder weights for my sons car. About a week later I received a phone call from a gentleman from another state. Here my package was inadvertently placed in with his. I called Joe from Pinewood Derby and he was very apologetic and helpful. He sent out another set of weights that week.

They are very efficient because they are smaller and hold a lot of weight. They are difficult to fit properly without shifting weight in the car. I love to use them.

Nice!
Using these weights allowed us to use less weights overall and to concentrate them farther back in the car. Our car took 1st place in every race this year! I also used the tungsten spheres to trim the cars weight to 5oz even. Will use again next year.

The tungsten cylinders weights work much better than the stick on weights. In my opinion it's an advantage over the stick on weights to place them inside the car.

We were able to add all the weights to the car to come within a half ounce of maximum. The compact weight, 1.7 time the density of lead, made it easy to adjust the location of the center of gravity.
