Default Need an inexpensive weight scale

Need a scale that can tell the weight of my cars, don't want to spend 129 on the Sky RC scale. Any suggestions?

Try food scales. There are many options that are fairly inexpensive that should be a good start.

Not sure what qualifies as inexpensive for you, but this one will handle up to 6.6 lbs/3 kg. It use it to weigh my 1/10 stuff. A 1/8 car will probably be just a bit too much for it.

Standard kitchen scales go up to 5kg with 1 gram steps. You can get them for 10 up to 20 bucks.

Seriously your going to get what you pay for.
