Anybody with a lux truggy/comp truck that knows what thier front/rear axle weights are ?

Need to order some springs, but mine is in no state to get to a weighbridge.

If you do know, please post up and what sort of setup you're running so I can make an educated guess for spring rates.

Cheers guys

Thanks Tim, Doesn't really help much, was hoping one of the boys with a Hilux or similar would have known from having a weighbridge ticket from engineering or from setting up thier own spring weights

I would have a look around for someone who hires out corner weights, I know a guy who is a member of a cobra club that have a set that club members can use for a fee. then you can get a good idea on the weight distribution from corner to corner.

If it was complete/finished I'd just use the weighbridge at the quarry next door. however's it's not so I can't
