1 VV car
1 small screw driver
4 pennys
Step 1:
Unscrew the two small screws on the back half of the car (the front of the car is NOT taken off).
Step 2:
Take your four penny's and stack them in the hallow body of the car as the picture below illustrates (hot gluing them in place also helps a lot).
Step 3:
keeping the body of the car in the upside-down position take the rest of the car and lay it over the body of the car making sure to line up the screw holes.
Step 4:
Screw the screws back in.

1: unscrew back of frame
2:get 2x2 square of saran wrap or foil
3:Put desired amount of tungsten powder on piece of saran wrap
4:fold saran wrap into pouch shape with the tungsten inside it.
*5:wrap pouch with double sided tape to prevent it from shaking inside the car
6:Place inside frame
7:screw top back on
*optional
This might not be the cheapest way to wieght your cars but it sure is the most effective.
I didn't choose the band life, the band life chose me.

i really don´t build w/ micro knex but i´m sure that if you weight your cars you will need to use standart knex for support it.
Nut urgently needed. On my previous coaster I weighted my cars, and if you support it very strong, it works, and looks much better then standard.
