Default scales question

I appolgize if this is already on the forum somewhere bu the search fuction is almost impossible to use on a mobile device.

I have a couple of questions about scales. Where can I get some inexpensive quality scales? And if I am using 4 scales does the sum of there weight equal the total vehicle weight?

Thanks for the help

I just bought 4 small electronic scales small enough to fit at all 4 corners of my car from harbor freight. 10 bucks each. they are accurate within 1-2 grams near as I can tell. VERY handy to set up car balance F-R, L-R, and of course the sum of all four equal the total weight of the vehicle! lol. These were a bargain, and I cant see being without them now!

These, thru Amazon, are a great deal and work great. The read out is also on the bottom of the scale, which makes it easier to read the weight on the left side of the car, compared to the side screen style scale.

Yes, sum of 4 is total.

Those are the same scales I have. All 4 are within 1 gram with a 200 gram weight.

This complete scale system can be used with any type or R/C vehicle.
