How to Install Tungsten Cube into Pinewood Derby Car

If you have a super-thin car and you need a lot of weight, you can’t go wrong with tungsten cubes. Because they are square, you can stack them together and created a variety of shapes .Carving out a packet in the bottom of the car is a bit more difficult than drilling hole, though,
A second option would be to design your car to only be1/4’’ thick and cut the pocket straight though the car body. Next, cut a thin piece of cardboard from a cereal box and glue it to the top of the car to cover the weight pocket. Then, install the cubes into the pocket and seal the bottom with a second piece of cardboard. Make sure you pack the cubes in tight so they can’t move, or add a little glue to stop them form moving around, Many packed will disqualify cars with weights that are loose inside the body.
