I know samissoawesome already had a thread whit how to weight vv cars. But i have a new way to do it. I already posted it in my thread from phoenix and then i got a private message from someone and he said that i could make a tutorial in the tutoials forum
And here it is:

Pieces needed:
A knex car
A screwdriver
Tin foil
2 balls of this toy: EN ? Geomag World
You can also use marbles, nuts or other smal stuff that weights.
Each of this balls weights 8 grams
The pictures:
Just a pic of the pieces

Put the tin foil in the car and the put the balls on it like this:

Than wrap the tin foil around the balls:

Put it in the back piece of your car:

Then screw it back on the car:

And your done.
Testvid:

I will put a testvid on whit a weighted car and a non-weighted car so you can see the differences
EDIT:
In the testvid the first car is weighted and the second car is not weighted so you can see the difference

I know not everyone haves Geomag but you can variate it by just wrapping something that is good weight in tin foil so i wont move.
The end.

Do you mean that you put the plastic bag whit screws in tin foil?
Or that you just do a bag whit screws in your car?
