How to Weigh Your RC Car

Follow these steps to accurately measure your RC car's weight distribution using a single scale. Proper setup ensures accurate measurements for optimal performance tuning.

1

Prepare Your Setup

  • Place your scale on a flat, level surface to ensure accurate readings.
  • Ensure your RC car is in its race-ready state with all batteries, parts, and tires mounted exactly as they will be during use.
  • Zero or tare your scale before each measurement to account for any platform weight.
2

Weigh the Front Wheels

  • Place both front wheels on the scale platform.
  • Level the rear wheels using blocks or shims of equal height to match the scale platform height. This ensures the car sits level and provides the most accurate measurement.
  • Wait for the scale reading to stabilize, then record this weight as your front weight.
3

Weigh the Rear Wheels

  • Turn the car around and place both rear wheels on the scale platform.
  • Level the front wheels using the same blocks or shims to match the scale height, keeping the car perfectly level.
  • Once the reading stabilizes, record this weight as your rear weight.

Pro Tip: Verify Your Measurements

For best accuracy, measure the total weight of the car with all four wheels on the scale. The sum of your front and rear weights should match this total weight (within a small margin for scale precision). If there's a significant difference, re-measure to ensure accuracy.
