511 Corner Weights

[djmcnz]

So as a matter of interest more than anything else - for an inquisitive mind - I happened upon a good deal for some 'micro' scales today so I grabbed them to weigh my vehicle.

The following pics are one of my first attempts. I've been able to find "stands" (Yeah Racing parts boxes) that are the required height when the scales are on my work mat. I'm not suggesting these are "scientific" accurate but after I levelled out the shocks this is what I got sans batteries.

That's pretty amazing balance for no tuning at all...

I used my eye, a straight edge and the grid-lines on my mat to set it all up so there's a fair margin of error. Either way the front right is obviously light (-ve motor) and needs to be compensated.

I'll try and set up some rig to get a true centre balance... not entirely sure how yet...

Any comments or ideas for the best balance or measurements would be appreciated, let's discuss...
