Many have asked for a simple way to cut up a big 2x6 bar of pure tungsten into smaller units for more flexibility in adjusting the weights.
So here is a new 1x6 bar, weighs in at over 30 gr. (1.05 oz)and a 1x2 bar weighs in at 10 gr.
In the photo below we have an offset 2x6 bar behind the axle, and a 1x6 just in front, followed by the 1x2 bars that can be arranged many ways to fine tune each individual car.
The 1x6 bar is $10 ea. over 1 oz
the 1x2 are sold in lots of 3 for $10. just over 1 oz.
combine shipping up to 14 oz for $3.50 PM me with quantity and email for PayPal
An example of an extreme build ( not saying it will work, just showing at least now you can experiment with it)
By cutting out a small 1x2 segment between the back wheels ( best if done after epoxying the 1x6 bar inside the frame), and then adding a 1x2 bar, we can get a perfectly balanced back and only 10 gr on the front DFW. So using this as a starting point, adjusting your COG left- right- or adding weight to the DFW is easy.
