Chassis Weight
 
So my car is 160g too light. I need to get some weight in it, obviously. Don't have a hobby shop within a reasonable ride, so I was wondering if I could get something like the picture below in some place other than a hobby shop?

Sorry if this has been asked, couldn't find a thread that covered this.

You should be able to find those at maybe a Discount Tire Company or an NTB. They're just lead weights, and tire places use them to balance the tires they install for their customers.

Get tungsten weights. More weight for the size.

I believe Hobby Lobby or Michaels also carries similar weights, to include the tungsten wooden box car weight sets.

Checked Michaels' website, couldn't find anything. Can you guys link me to something?
