We have recently corner balanced our Awesomatix A800RR to achieve a more optimum weight distribution left to right, front to rear and also to make sure our weight placements on the car not only achieve 50/50 weight bias front to rear, but also left to right. Here are some tips to corner balance your car, these apply to all makes and models:

  1. level your setup board. An unequal surface loads tyres unequally. To achieve a level surface use a setup board leveling system such as the Orca or Zombie adjustable setup pegs shown. Use a spirit level to zero the X and Y axis. A longer spirit level will achieve a more accurate result so a 20-25cm long level is ideal.
  2. make sure all wheels are the same weight. Most wheels are 1 to 2 grams off from the others. Simply equalise the weight across all four wheels with some power putty. Don't worry about balancing the tyre for this purpose. For racing you can balance your tyres if you like
  3. zero out your ride height by screwing out the shock collar/ride height screw. Set each side left to right EQUALLY and achieve the ride height you are after
  4. place your weights in position once car is on the scales (no shell) shifting as needed to get each corner as close as possible
  5. place car without shell on scales, tweak shock collar/ride height screw as needed to make micro adjustments
  6. make sure your race shell fits on your body posts WITHOUT any binding. Enlarge post holes if needed. A body that does not fit well will tweak your readings the shell must fall onto the posts without resistance
  7. ALWAYS finalise your corner balancing with your race shell ON as this drastically changes your readings. Adjust shocks as needed

Tips
  • it is OK if ride height is out by 0.1mm left to right once balanced
  • focus on RR/LF and LR/RF corner balance first then left to right balance
  • ultra light batteries will require a battery plate weight.
  • your electronics side is roughly 270-290 grams depending on your equipment used. Battery side should weight the same once battery plates are added.
  • place weights in the centre of the car as much as you can using outboard positions to achieve corner balance only
  • high grip tracks may benefit from a rear bias weight setup whereas low grip tracks benefit from 50/50 balance
  • bent bulkheads, even micro tweaks and or bent carbon top decks will cause huge differences in corner balance. Check that all your bulkheads are flat on a granite bench top or glass surface and that top decks sit flat when pressed down from one side. If they are bent, you need to replace them
That's it! Your car is balanced!

I’d like to add:
Put you battery on the car before weighting the car. Use the battery you will race with and they all must be approx the same weight during all race heats
Compress shocks before setting ride height or weight readings
