Status: offline 		Hey guys I'm after some help and advice.

I got my self 4 digital scales to play around with left right weight ballance.

The problem is, to get it sitting at normal ride hight I have to drop the car on the scales, not really to keen on doing that it might overload them.... and the tweak if effecting the reading too

Can u get adjustable shocks that won't compress kind of like fake shocks? That way I can get a more accurate reading on weight ballance With out the tweak effecting the reading?

I'm positive something like that would be the answer, that way I could get the left to right ballance to the best I can, then once that's all sweet test the shocks with a losi matching tool, refit the shocks, and finally do the front and rear tweak with the scales?

I know, some people might think its silly, but I enjoy fiddling with my cars more than driving them sometimes.

Hmmm might work, might give that a go.

If I did that the chassis would droop down past the normal riding hight and might not sit level effecting ballance measurements

Maby I should drop it, measure the shock length and replace the shocks with turnbuckles.... Hmmm wonder if there is a cheaper way?
