3.5oz Tungsten Canopy Polished (DWXTC35)

3.5oz Tungsten Canopy Polished (DWXTC35)

The 3.5-ounce Polished Tungsten Canopy Weight is a compact ballast piece designed to add mass to a derby racer while delivering a sleek, finished look. It features a stud base for simple mounting—drill a hole in your preferred weight location and glue the weight in place.

Because tungsten is extremely dense, this canopy weight lets you place a substantial amount of weight in a small, aerodynamic area, helping speed and stability. Tungsten is about 1.7 times denser than lead and 3.2 times denser than zinc, and it’s non-toxic and environmentally friendly. These weights are produced using a sintering process to achieve high density and precise sizing, with a polished finish for the best fit and appearance.

Overview

The 3.5 oz Tungsten Canopy Polished is an excellent choice for adding both weight and design to your racing vehicle. Featuring a stud base, this product allows for easy mounting; simply drill a hole at your preferred weight location and secure it with glue.

With its very high density, tungsten serves as an exceptional weighting material for derby cars. This metal is approximately 1.7 times denser than lead and 3.2 times denser than zinc, which is often used as a “lead-free” alternative. This density gives builders the flexibility to place significant weight in a compact, aerodynamic space, enhancing speed and performance. Additionally, tungsten is completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

Each tungsten product from Derby Worx is crafted through a sintering process, which compacts and forms a solid mass of material using heat and pressure without melting it. This method ensures that these weights are of the highest density and precision, making them ideal for all forms of derby construction. The finish polished quality guarantees optimal fit and an appealing appearance.
