This is what is posted in the electric thread:

For balancing out the car by using weights I wouldn't suggest putting the car on four scales but one axle on the scales and one on a Hudy pin.
This eliminates the variables like chassis straightness which can cause a false reading.
If you want to do it perfectly you should also replace the shocks with a set of turnbuckles.
First you will dial in the left/right balance on both axles and then the front/rear balance.
When you set it up like this and build your shocks properly you don't have to balance out the car by changing the spring preload. This gives you a very good handling car.

How does the dialing in take place? By shifting and or adding weight or trying to move electronics?

How you balance the car depends on your situation, if your car is too heavy I would try moving some components around. Otherwise add some weights, this will also give you more possibilities to balance the car.



With the front/rear I make sure the car is completely level by placing a small spirit level on the radiotray and one on the setup board.
What is a spirit level? Is the car placed on the scales? How does front/rear balancing exactly take place?



This picture was made to show someone how this method works so I put everything in place just for the picture. Normally the shocks are replaced by turnbuckles and the chassis is level.
OK, I understand.



Sure, when they fit on your scales you could use the Hudy stands.

Ssst, don't tell the secret.
