Mine is #460 front #1100 rear empty using the truck scales at work that rounds off to the nearest 10 lbs

Any idea where I could check the bias? I used scales at the compost. weigh one end then the other?

I took mine to the local landscaping outlet. They had a certified scale. Ipulled the front wheels on the scale, then the whole buggy and then just the rear wheels. I also weighed my trailer for plates. The guy charged me 5 bucks, I gave him 10.

Total weight = 1650 # 460 # Front Bias = 29% 1100 # Rear Bias = 71 % Pretty close to my Bias. A little light on the front end. aboone993 wrote: Mine is #460 front #1100 rear empty using the truck scales at work that rounds off to the nearest 10 lbs

My race buggy weighs around 1750 lbs with 12-15 gallons of fuel, me in a firesuit and a helmet on.each rear tire weight was around 600lbs and front was 200lbs each (I know it doesn't add up, it was over a year ago and I don't have the paper in front of me). I think that was close to the dry weight of my old woods buggy

Hey Steve what do you think the bias is on this one! Looks nose heavy to me http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-V8- ... 06.c0.m245

Yea that is definatly nose heavy. Probably a 60 front 40 rear Bias. Great in the sand until you decide to go airborn, better be at full throttle on take off. mudd mutt wrote: Hey Steve what do you think the bias is on this one!

I am curius to what a ky single seater's bias is. I am considering putting the ecotec in one if I can get the weight ratio close. Or is that a big secret?
