The ultimate weight solution is now here only at Jewkes Engineering... Are you tired of building a car and the weight is too far back or too far forward or your car is riding wheelies, you just can not get the weight where you want it. You have just spent hours on the car but now you decide you need to start all over because the weight is in the wrong place. The weight is glued in, the car is painted, your race is in one day. The car is not where you want it to be in speed, now you decide to start all over and build another car. Well now you do not have to worry any more... Introducing the Edge SweetSpot TM fully adjustable weight system is now at your finger tips... Ether cut your own slot for the weight or buy our pre cut lightweight High Performance speed pine blocks and you are ready to get the Edge again on the competition. This is a 3.6 oz tungsten that is 1" wide x 1.25" long x .29 thin rectangle that can be placed in the rear of the car that can be moved forward or back wards until you find the *** SweetSpot TM*** for the ultimate speed out of your Derby race car. If you want to find the Maximum Velocity and be the Derby Dominator then don’t Monkey around with any other weight system. Get the Edge SweetSpots and we will see you at the Finish line... The SweetSpot is designed to go on the under side of your car to give you a low center of mass with out drilling all the way through the body so you can hide what you are doing and still keep the look of the car with out the weight hanging down or sticking up trough the top of the car, the best part of this weight system, it gives you full control where you want the weight after you have painted your car. The Edge SweetSpot TM Adjustable Weight System. Get the Edge on the Competition to day ... Another first here at Jewkes Engineering... If we do not have it, You do not Need It...

Really nice system! Jewkes does it again! This too solves the issue of having several weights. You can simply move it from car to car if you wanted.

I do something similar with the round disks. I cut the slot and put carpet tape on the bottom. The only caveat was I needed to ensure the car slowed down gradually; no quick stops as then the momentum would send the weight forward. You could also lock the weight in place with set screws as well. The tungsten square would make this easier to do.

Looks like a pricing error?

I tried my first one and it works great. It went into a new stocker and I can go from around a 1/2" COM to around an 1 1/4" COM. I will have a new funky fender design that may work and it may not, will have to wait and see. Adjusting the weight is as simple as turning a screw. I think I will have more time in this fender than I will the whole car. I just hope all that work isn't in vain.

Using the Sweet Spot and a pre cut car body will I have to cut my axles?

Yes,
The SweetSpot will fit without cutting axles but the COM will be not be optimal. Pushing the weight back more requires cutting the axles.

Using the Sweet Spot and a pre cut car body will I have to cut my axles? We have short axles designed for the use of the SweetSpot in the precut kit bodies... Just contact Glenn he can fill your order with these. They are not on the web site yet... soon to be updated.

Those axles sound great.... ;D
If for some reason you want full axles and you also want the kit body you can use tungsten cubes in place of the sweetspot.
