Default Corner Weighting Scales

Hey,

We are looking to purchase a set of scales to use on our race cars. We don't want anything to extravagent, but want something decent. Just wondering what some of you are using.

Which scales are best bang for the buck?

Thanks!

You best bet is to try Grassroots Magazine's forums, since those guys corner weight alot in Solo 1 and 2 racing....

We've been looking into this as well. After we aligned and corner weighed our race cars. Made it so much easier to drive and go safely down the track.

i totally agree, no torque steer, and also the whole width of a slick on a balanced car will be on the track, which means more traction. its outrageous what a good corner balance will do.

yup alot of people forget about alignment on their cars. I totally neglected it back in teh day since we were so basic then. But once you balance and align the car, you can tell that the car likes to go straight as an arrow. you dont have to fight it going to left or right as much on the launch
