Standard Bolt







THE BOLT is named for the small dart that is used in a crossbow. And like a crossbow bolt, THE BOLT will take off like it was shot. Please note that although the standard version of THE BOLT is slightly shorter than 7 inches, the use of tungsten weight allows the center of gravity to be properly located for optimum speed.

In addition to the car kit and basic hand tools, you will need the following supplies to build THE BOLT:

• 7/16" Brad Point or Forstner drill bit (hardware store item)



• 3/16" drill bit (hardware store item)



• Coping saw



• Files - Half Round and Rat Tail (Hardware store item)



• 3 inches of 7/16" dowel rod



• Tungsten: 3-1/2 ounces of tungsten cylinders



• Tungsten: 12 tungsten beads



• Turbo decal sheet was used to customize the car in the photo
