Awana Car Weights

ABC Derby Car is an independent website. We are not affiliated with AWANA Grand Prix. All the products that we sell are compatible with AWANA cars and are for AWANA races only.

Weights for AWANA® Cars

The more your AWANA car weighs, the faster it will go. Most rules specify a 5 oz. maximum weight. A car may need 3 oz or more of additional weight depending on how much wood is removed when you shape your car. Add as much weight as you can near the back of the car for fastest speeds.

Our weights are available in a variety of shapes and metals. Each metal has its advantages and disadvantages. The following table will help you to decide which metal you would like to use.

Here are the main advantages and disadvantages of each metal:

	Advantages	Disadvantages
Lead	Soft - easy to bend and cut. Low cost Medium density	Should not be handled by children. If you use lead, insert it inside the car block and seal with wood putty.
Steel	Low cost Can be cut and filed	Low density Can rust
Tungsten	High density Ideal for concentrating weight in a small area.	High cost. Very hard - Cannot be cut or shaped.
