When it comes to finding the winner’s circle on a Saturday night at tracks across America any racer that has made their way there will tell you that success on track is part driver, part setup, and part luck.
The driver and setup equation can always be improved with practice and learning, but to repeat that success, you need to know the weight balance of your car. (As for the luck, well you’ll need to provide your own horseshoe).
Owning a set of portable scales (often referred to as corner scales or corner weight scales) allows you to make changes to your suspension for varying track and chassis or tire conditions and see exactly how these changes affect corner weights, cross weights, and front/rear percentages.
Proform’s Wireless Race Car Scale System offers terrific value in a set of race car scales. Whether you run narrow tires like Mini Sprints or Quarter Midgets, or wide rubber found on late models and sprint cars the low-profile beveled edge scale pads with its 15-inch width means you get repeatable results every time.
These car scales are also a great solution for the hot rod builder or muscle car enthusiast that has upgraded to an adjustable suspension system, such as our , and wishes to get the most out of it.
The low-profile aluminum scale pads mean there is no need to grab a floor jack, simply drive right up and onto the beveled scale pad surface! Wireless race car scales mean no more wires to get tangled up in or trip over while making suspension adjustments and provide faster setup time!
You will find many great features built into these Proform scales that you might not expect at this price point. Not only does the latest LCD 4.0 system display individual corner weights and total weight, but it also provides the user with side to side, front to rear, and cross weight percentages, which is a huge value add when setting up adjustable suspensions. A USB port allows live streaming to a larger display and data export via Proform's free software.
The LCD display unit is backlit for easy readability in low-light conditions and is powered by four standard AA batteries. No more worrying about having 110v power nearby or ensuring an internal battery is charged before use. Keep a spare set of batteries in the included foam-lined hard case or your trailer and you will always have power for your scales.
Unpack the four scale pads and LCD display from their protective foam-lined rolling carry case (which even has a luggage-type handle for easy transport!), install two AA batteries in each scale pad and then set the scale pads in position and turn them on. Install four AA batteries and power up the display (batteries for scale pads and display included to get you up and running fast).
Easy to transport and set up, Proform’s Wireless Race Car Scale System mean you don't have to wait for the green flag to find out how your setup changed the car. Stop guessing and start winning!

Summary: Great scales, easy to use.
Summary: Mode control is a little fiddly but comes with a case and is fully featured. Couldn't be happier.
Pros: Performance Price
Yes, I recommend this product.
Summary: Thinnest scales out there! Very compact and light total package, makes taking your scales to weigh your buddies' cars much more convenient :) Wireless weight data transmission is straightforward and simple, updating real-time. These scales really have all the features you need to be able to weigh and/or corner balance your car, and are well worth the extra ~200$ to go wireless with the same brand. If you're careful with the on/off switches and don't mistreat the 4 pads it rests on the floor in (which just so happen to be the weighing mechanism), it should last plenty :) If you're on the fence with scales, take the plunge! There are always good reasons to get accurate data.
Cons: Doesn't fit in standard leveling enclosures Very flimsy on/off switch, can be easily damaged
Pros: Cross-weights and f/r distribution available Precise and real-time weight updating Thinnest scales out there Wireless scales have all key features you need
Yes, I recommend this product.
Summary: I use these for figuring out weight for picking the correct springs the first time for the street cars that I build
Yes, I recommend this product.
Summary: Exactly what I needed while building my drag car. I was looking for layout and placement options to balance the car and reduce the use of weights to balance. Only downside is the car is not running and you cannot turn the system on while the car is on the scales.
Cons: Cannot shut off and on while under car.
Pros: Easy to use None Only scale set with case
Yes, I recommend this product.
