Overview

Tungsten Cylinders are one of the easiest ways to add weight to your Derby Car. With tungsten being 1.7 times denser than lead and over 2 times denser than zinc the Derby Worx Incremental Tungsten Cylinder kit makes adding plenty of weight to your derby car as simple as drilling a hole.

Each 2 oz. Tungsten Cylinder Kit contains 8 pieces of precision sized 3/8″ dia, high density, tungsten: 2 pieces: 1/2 oz, 2 pieces: 1/4 oz. 4 pieces: 1/8 oz. will give the car builder a dense compact weight solution with adjust-ability for precise weight and balance. Weights are easily installed by drilling a 25/64″ hole in the body in the desired weighting location.

Due to its very high density Tungsten is an excellent weighting material for derby cars. Only gold, platinum, and a few other rare and expensive metals have a similar density. Tungsten is approximately 1.7 times denser than lead and 3.2 times denser than the zinc (“lead-free”) weight often used on derby cars, thus it allows a tremendous amount of freedom in the car design especially for speed by allowing the builder to place a large amount of weight in a small, aerodynamic area. Also tungsten is completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

Derby Worx tungsten products are made using a process called “Sintering”, this is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat and pressure without melting it to the point of liquefaction. This allows us to make very high density, precision weight and sized products for all forms of Derby Construction. You will find not only is Derby Worx tungsten the highest density available but it is finish polished for the very best fit and appearance.
