Hi Stefano, sorry about the delay getting back to you as I have been away on holiday for a few days. I am very happy that you liked my invention. I'm only an ordinary guy who loves Slotcar racing. Because I live in New Zealand it is a bit more expensive to post one only to you in Italy and also take longer. It probably would be best for you to contact Sean Fothersgill the owner of Pendlesslotracing in the UK who have them in stock. If you have friends who would like them also, the cost of postage would be cheaper. If you do contact Sean, let him know that I recommended him. If you have any queries do not hesitate to email me. Regards Rod Forder

The device can be useful, but to have the 40/60 I use two identical and perfectly level scales. Weight the car first eg. 100 grams and I know that the front will have to weigh 40 grams. while the rear 60 gr. I place the car in the center between the two scales between the rear and front axles. The front wheels on one scale and the rear wheels on the other scale.

Hi Stefan, I know where you are coming from, but it is not all about weight, it is about where you put the weight. What do you do, when the scales show it is say 45/ 55 balance ratio? Regards Rodalan

Each car is always unbalanced with more weight on the rear. I generally add weight as close to the front axle as possible trying to bring the weight to 40/60. I always weigh the machine on a scale first. With the two scales I add weight where I want trying to find a balance that brings me to 40/60. Bye!

@@stefanobism How big is the top plate on your scales, as I am wondering how you check the balance left to right. My scale plate is 55mm x 65mm. I originally invented the device for checking left to right balance as a member of our club had a car that was great on right hand bends but bad on left hand bends and he had no way measuring the right to left weight. After he checked his car on my device he found the car was heavy on one side and light on the other. He soon fixed the imbalance and transformed hic car. Its good to have discussions like this as there are many ways of skinning a cat. Rod

With the two scales I cannot check the balance from left to right. With the two scales I can only check the 40/60. The plate you built has a measurement of 119mm x 65mm. 1/32 cars can measure 140 mm. in length including the bodywork. Why did you make a shorter plate allowing the body to come out of the plate? Why didn't you build the plate longer? You had a great idea building it for your club member. Bye!

The best way to get the 40/60 is measure the car first, put a mark on the tape, put the car on the balance on the mark then adjust the weight to achieve that required balance.

Good point Model Race Car, there are always more than one way to skin a cat. When I invented the Device it was more in my mind that I have a few cars, some that are good and some that were not so good and I wanted a way to easily compare their balance. Rodalan.
