Scales are here - hmmmm

So, I bought 4 mini digital scales of rctech.net on Monday afternoon. They showed up Wednesday, and I finally got to play with them tonight. I'm going to have to get some help on balancing my car using this technique - so far it looks like adjusting pre-load on a spring plants the opposite shock at the other end of the car... makes sense... sorta...

Also, holy cow batman! I put my NiMH packs on the scale - OMG - 443 grams! If the IB 4200 saddle pack is truly 265 grams, that would be a massive weight savings, and bring the car closer in line with what the class minimum is. Hopefully there is money in the budget for one or two of those little girls :)
