    Just come see me sometime and we can put it on the scales... Maybe I could even give you a plant tour and show you my fancy tractor that rides wheelies. :D

    We have scales that we could put under every wheel or just do it the easy way on the truck scales. Anyway, just need to make a trip up to Perry sometime.

    I would like to do each wheel independently. That gives me more usable data.

    It's useful if it can be adjusted and you are going to be using a lot more dynamics than normal! :D
    If you don't take advantage of @guthriesmith 's offer, try to find a local roundy or road racer. They tend to have the 4 corner scales.

    Agreed, that chassis looks like a lot of quality work, and the truck is cool too.
    Funny how the weight is within 30 pounds of the one above it.
