Hi all,
My son and I just participated in his first PWD as a tiger cub...and we loved it. He did well, 1st in the den, 4th in the pack. Wish I had looked on the net for info first, just tried common sense. Stock wheels, no graphite, weight placed in the middle and the front, but I did file the web off the axels and tried to align the wheels. But now... we're ready to build and try to get other races going.
The question I have is that I see a lot of very thin cars in the pics. How do you weight them and keep them so thin? Most look like there is no exposed weight at all. I'll keep checking in, and thanks for any info

Tungsten is the weight of choice these days. It is 1.7 times heavier than lead, so it allows you to form a denser weight pack, and all but eliminates design limitations ( strenght of car being the only issue ). Warp Speed Inc.

WarpSpeed,
Where are you getting your tungsten from? MaxV?

BuilderJim,
I've bought the pellets from Max V and used them in 4 cars now. They are great to get close to the weight limit, but I still need to use lead wire for tweaking. I think Pinewood Performance had some smaller tungsten pieces and I've seen a lot of tungsten parts on ebay.
Good Luck!
