For some hidden weight I use the stick on weights used by auto mechanics to balance aluminum wheels.
Just cut,peel,and stick.

I use pennies and double sided tape. Nickels are good for more weight in a smaller space.
As long as it's not a passenger car, you can't see the coins at all.

Tycoboy--- small;l 1/4 once lead weights are sold by A-Line products. They also sell diffferent oz and thickness. They sell pourable lead and sheets of lead that can be cut to fit. REMEMBER-working with pure lead is dangerous. Protect your hands or if you handle bear wash immediatly withy warm soap and water. The wieghts come with doulbe sided tape. I have used the 1/4 ounce weights on some of my tyco light cars. They work perfect. I mainly use the 1/4 ounce weights as these are on a sheet and pre-cut

Bargain Bin...
Nuts or washers by the pound
Lapage #6 cement... if you need the washers out, just pull them with pliers.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
