Pinewood Derby Tungsten Canopy Weight

Q: What is the bore of the "stem"? The weight is taking forever to arrive & I need to help the scout pre-build the car this weekend.

Use a 3/8" drill bit to drill the hole for the stem. Drill the hole 1/2" deep.

Q: Is it possible to remove the mounting post or trim it down a bit?

I would say no for an average hobbyist. The metal is very solid and does not act as lead. The melting point of tungsten is 6000F vs lead of 600F. BUT, I will say this weight is truly awesome. placed in the correct position (center of gravity close to the rear axle, but just barely in front of it) this weight really turns that potential energy into a well-performing car.

Q: Where should this weight sit on the car? Front or back?

It should be placed on the top of the car and close to the back.

Q: What is the difference between a tungsten weight and a lead weight if they weigh the same? Is there a performance difference?

Tungsten is more dense than lead so the tungsten is smaller. This means that you can put more of the weight farther back on the car increasing the performance.
