2oz Incremental Tungsten Cylinder Kit (DWXCWK01)

2oz Incremental Tungsten Cylinder Kit (DWXCWK01)

The 2-Ounce Incremental Tungsten Cylinder Kit is a compact set of precision tungsten weights designed to add ballast to a derby car. It includes eight pieces: two 1/2-ounce cylinders, two 1/4-ounce cylinders, and four 1/8-ounce cylinders, all 3/8-inch in diameter. Weights install by drilling a 25/64-inch hole in the body at the desired weighting location for easy tuning of weight and balance.

Tungsten’s high density—about 1.7 times that of lead and more than three times that of zinc—lets builders place substantial weight in a small footprint, aiding precise weight distribution and aerodynamic design. These cylinders are produced through a sintering process to achieve very high density and tight size control, and they finish polished for a clean appearance and reliable fit. Tungsten weights are non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making them a practical choice for derby car construction.

Overview

The 2 oz Incremental Tungsten Cylinder Kit provides an easy way to add weight to your Derby Car. With tungsten being 1.7 times denser than lead and over 2 times denser than zinc, this kit simplifies the process of weight addition by simply drilling a hole. This kit includes 8 precision-sized cylinders with a diameter of 3/8 inches, consisting of two 1/2 oz pieces, two 1/4 oz pieces, and four 1/8 oz pieces. This configuration offers a compact and adjustable weight solution, allowing for precise weight distribution and balance.

Thanks to its high density, tungsten is an exceptional material for weighting derby cars. Only gold, platinum, and a few other rare and expensive metals boast a similar density. With tungsten being approximately 1.7 times denser than lead and 3.2 times denser than typical lead-free weights, it enables an impressive degree of design flexibility, particularly in achieving speed through the placement of significant weight in a small, aerodynamic area. Additionally, tungsten is completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making it a safe choice for everyone.

This tungsten product is manufactured through a process called sintering, which compacts and forms a solid mass by applying heat and pressure without melting the material. This process results in high-density, precision weights that cater to all kinds of Derby construction. Derby Worx tungsten is recognized for its exceptional density and is finish polished to ensure the best fit and appearance.
