Accurately Balance Your Race Car’s Weight with Longacre Computerscales Digital Scales

Scaling your race car is one of the most important things you can do to increase your chances of visiting victory lane. Proper chassis setup requires the weight balance be set accurately and correctly for the car, driver, and track conditions.

That requires quality electronic scales like Longacre Racing Products’ Computerscales Digital Scales. Scales under 1,500 pounds capacity per pad are accurate to 0.1% of applied weight or ± 1 graduation, whichever is greater. Scales with pads exceeding 1,800 pounds capacity per pad are accurate to 0.25% of applied weight or ± 1 graduation, whichever is greater. The aluminum pads are flat to within .010 of an inch and have internal webs to minimize deflection for accurate readings.

You can learn the basics of weight scaling in this article on Longacre’s website, then find the Computerscales that best fit your needs, like these:
