Oooh just makes the weight limit then Marcus.
Careful on tire/insert/ wheel brands and changing them out when you run that close on weight ..... could end up "Batting on a sticky-wicket ol' chap"

Out of interest. Was that weight distribution done with an empty fuel tank Marcus?

Everything measures with a half tank of fuel. the Blitz body is a bit lighter than my maclaren body which is what i normally run.

mmmmmm I had to go back to a untuned 5 port engine as the rear bearing on my new OS went through the engine and the change point was tooooo long, any way after 3 flame outs I managed to finish 3rd......... Rob

Because you never drive the car with an empty tank. Half tank is a compromise, the reason for balancing is to make it handle better on track, if its empty your not on track

[QUOTE=THE FRIDGE;13217918]I normally run my chopped maclaren body which is heavier than the Blitz by alot. with the Blitz body the car is too light by 25g dry but with the maclaren its 25g over dry.

[QUOTE=MantisWorx;13217940]I'm going to look into getting some of them scales, they look good

Our local 'weigh-ins' in Utah were done with the 'competition norm' in mind and that was with 'empty tank'........where do you get the concept that you could 'weigh in' with any fuel at all in the tank ?? I found out that my favorite 'concrete lot venue that worked well with my my GQ GT tire' was well into the 'safe weight' by 100 grams' with the 'empty tank'. Every 'sanctioned event I've been to starting with the 'Ron Paris Memorial Events' have a 'fuel dump' before 'tech out'.......... Your buddy TerribleTy can confirm the procedure here.

I bought a set of scales for $20 US to check my grandson's 'pinewood derby car' (first place......grandpa's pride)......
