Re: Tungsten Puma Weighta

I don't like to cross-post, but I don't know how much traffic the Trading Post section gets, so....

I have a set of the original design of the Puma weights for sale.

Re: Derby Worx Pro Body Jig & Pro Body Tool II

Edited original post and bumping to the top for 2015 season. I'm glad, TXDerbyDad, you've had success with using this jig for starter holes. Maybe another user will be able to benefit from that advice as well. I used the Pro Body Tool for the front holes and the Jig for the rear axle holes to drop i...

Re: Tungsten Puma Weighta

Any chance of a picture of the underside of the car [EDIT: with the wheels on? Or a sort of side shot of the underside with a wheel mounted]? With the cutout of the weight mounted on the top and the weight directly against the chassis without a spacer, would you have any issue with the weight bumpin...

SOLD - Derby Worx Pro Body Jig & Pro Body Tool II

SOLD - updated 2/20/2016 Pro Body Jig Very gently-used. Used two seasons only to make shallow starter holes by non-electric-hand-drilling. We only used it by hand-turning just a bare bit (first season, dad's hands) or the drill bit in a pin vice (second season, scout's hands). Never used with an el...

Re: For: aphonos. stock wheel base photos.

Thank you to Sporty and all the other regulars (I won't list them all by name here, because I'd probably forget someone and I don't want to offend, but if you're a regular, you already know who I mean) for all the time you put into sharing your knowledge of PWD philosophy, theor...
