It will also need to be adjusted according to what type of track you are racing on. Center of Gravity Mass matters if you want the best setup. With a completely assembled car, start balancing with the rear of the car hovering over the numbers. Once you balance it, look down at the witness marks and located where you rear axles are. This will tell you your COG. Learn the whole process here 2 ways to use: -measure pre-existing COG -mark desired COG location then adjust weight ballast accordingly. Proper way to install pinewood derby weights We are going to take adding weights into two parts so that we can properly adjust our COG. To do this, we first only install the rear weight as this time. Adding the remaining weight will be the second part on installing the weights and will be done in session 5. Rear weight is weight behind the rear axle. If using cargo or canopy weights, please skip to that section. ●Using an epoxy is the preferred glue of choice. Gel super glue is next in line. Yellow or wood glue will not work. ●If you are melting lead have your child watch from far away (Adult only). Once lead is poured wait for it to cool before proceeding. ●Once rear weights are installed, apply wood putty to cover the weight. Please DON’T putty any underside pockets. For underside pockets use foil HVAC tape instead. It will take too long for wood putty to dry and is not necessary. If using a cargo or canopy style weight. DO NOT glue in place until the COG is adjusted. After rear weight is installed ●Assemble your tooling - COG stand, additional weight to bring the car to final weight range, mockup wheels and axles, balance beam, and a weight scale that measures in grams. ●Mark the desired location for balancing. ●Measure your car as is with wheels and axles on the scale. It should be underweight at this point. Set aside whatever weight is needed to bring the car, axles, and wheels to a working weight of 131 grams (125 grams if using putty to cover weight). ●Install wheels and axles only for the purpose of finding COG. Final wheel and axle installation is at later point in build This is not permanent at this time, do not use glue. We are simply finding our COG at this time. ●Once COG is attained, note the location of where the balance takes place. Install the remaining weight ballast in the car. Recheck COG to assure it is properly placed. Glue in place to ensure that it will not come loose during racing. Apply wood putty to cover the weight installed from the side or back of the car. Use foil tape for any underside pockets. About Us Wood Worker of All types. Love anything that requires sawdust. Let us help BUILD your Pinewood Derby® car design into CHAMPION!

Our "junk" gets thrown away. We do accept offers, but please do not insult us. Offering bids at 50% off is an insult and will not be answered. We are very proud of the quality of our products and will continue to do business this way. Our products are made in the USA with those funds staying in the USA, always! Due to the rising costs associated with doing business on eBay, including higher than ordinary payment fees, we are forced to charge a higher price on our eBay offerings than you would be able to purchase them from our company elsewhere. We apologize for this but the costs have become prohibitive and we find it necessary to implement this policy. We find this necessary and want to advise all our eBay friends of this new policy to avoid any complaints in the future should you find our merchandise elsewhere on the internet at lower pricing. You placing an eBay order constitutes acceptance of our policy and these higher costs. Thank you for your understanding. Payment When placing an order via eBay, you will have many payment options at checkout including PayPal, PayPal Credit, Credit Card, Debit Card, Apple Pay & Google Pay.

This code can be used to determine if and when a package has been delivered. You can check the delivery status of the package at the US Postal Service Web SiteIF for some reason you do not receive the information, please text me to get an update. Combined Shipping We are a firm believer in combined shipping costs to get you best price possible. However…. eBay system is horrible at combined shipping. To request an invoice from me that combines shipping please use the Cart feature in eBay to add items until you are done. Then hit the Request total from seller button. If you don't do it this way eBay will force, you to make immediate payments for each item you buy and you will be charged excess postage in many cases. If you buy from me and this happens accidentally, I will refund any excess postage back to you with PayPal. This works for Buy It Now auctions. On regular auctions you should still wait to pay until all your auctions are finished and then request an invoice from your seller. eBay always sends an Instant Invoice after you win an auction, but you should not pay immediately if you intend on combining shipping to save money. The link to contact the seller directly has changed. Now it is the "Contact seller" link which is under the seller's name upper right in the Seller information box.
