Hays Jr 04-01-2009, 10:40 PM I posted this on the other thread too, but incase you didnt see it.... Just some general info. The link posted above covers some of this as well. *The numbers on each set of scales is all relative so dont get stuck on, I've gotta have this, this and this on each corner. Its just another tool to help you. *The biggest thing 4 scales allows you to do is see differences from the front of your car to the back. Every brand of car has different characteristics of corner weights readings and different characteristics of what works best. For instance on my L4 and Gen 2. I could never run much less than 420grams on the LR and the weights look something like this(from memory not exact) 315g LF 140g RF 430g LR 185ish I think??? RR Now take the CEFX car I've been running lately that has a completly different pod and offset t-plate configuration and it runs great something along this lines. 360g LF 90g RF 360f LR 250ish I think RR *Tightening the rightside shock adds crossweight into the car by adding weight on the LR and RF. Backing off the rightside shock takes weight off the LR/RF and puts it on the LR and RR. To change your percentages though you need to physically move weight around in the car batteries/electronics. Cranking on springs will only move the weight from one tire to another. *One of the biggest advantages is the 4 scales allows you to check your crossweight (LR+RF percentage) Rear percentage (RR+LR) and your leftside weight (LF+LR). You get these percentages by adding up all 4 corners of the car to get a total. Then you divide each corners weight by the total to get a percentage for that tire. All you need to do then is add those numbers together to achieve a crossweight/Leftside/rear/ percentage. *Just a general rule. You will always want to keep your RR tire heavier than your RF and never have your LF tire much heavier than your LR tire. It is good to have LR weight in the car but it is bad to have alot of LR weight and so much RF weight (crossweight) that is heavier than your RR. If your running too much tweak the car can have the tendancy to carry or lift the LF tire. Running less tweak the car will stay much flatter by keeping more weight on the LF but you may be giving up forward bite and you will have to find other ways to get the car to have forward drive and not be lose off the corner. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hays Lefthander-RC www.lefthander-rc.com Zonic2001 04-02-2009, 09:07 AM Thanks Mr. Hays...
