Full details
The Intercomp E-Z Weigh Kart Scales are designed for karters seeking a reliable and accurate way to optimize their chassis setup. This system provides precise weight and percentage data, enabling quick adjustments for improved performance on the track. A potential caveat is the need for a 9V battery, which, while long-lasting, requires occasional replacement. Key features include a large, easy-to-read display, high capacity per pad, certified accuracy, storage for multiple chassis setups, and data output capabilities.
