weight

[hickston]

Hi, I want to add some weight to my xxx-cr, but I cant seem to find any lead weight on any of the sites I try (google brings up some strange results). I'm obviously not looking/searching using the right keywords. Does anyone know where I can get those little square blocks of (I assume) lead from???

go to your local ATS/Kwik fit and they will probably give you some, they use the same stuff to balance car wheels:flower:

most model shops will sell it. comes in a little strip of 10 and 5 g squares, with double sided tape. normally only £3 ish.

As mentioned, a local tyre dealer is where I get mine. Usually about 50p a strip

Dcracing sells it for a quid a strip.

does it come in the little squares? i thought theirs was designed to clip round the rim of the wheel?

yup they do.. squares of 10 and 5g i got a handful last time i needed some from a tyre garage.

They come as a strip but will split into seperate weights easily. DC Racing has them.

I use to buy lead that they put in the kil (spelling?) of rc sail boats!
Its small lead balls that goes in to all small places in the front bulkhead
then you seal it with melting glue, shoe goo or epoxy. . . . . . . .
