I use 1x el cheapo digital kitchen scales from Tesco and prop the other 3 wheels upto the same height as the scale bed. Seems adequate for off road though I'd possibly want something a touch more discerning for 1:12 or TC.

Seems to work for me - although I have noticed that combining the front axle weights and the rear axle weights never seem to equate to the total static weight of the car (which always weighs light compared to the axle weights added together)

Thus I'm never quite sure if I should base my Fr/Rr weight calcs on the axle weight divided by the sum of the 2 axles weights or the axle weight divided by the total static weight?
