Electronics, Motor, and Transmission Weight Estimator

I have created a spreadsheet that should help with the calculation of the weight of some standard components. You can download the weight estimator from here. If anyone has anything they would like me to add, please let me know.

Re: Electronics, Motor, and Transmission Weight Estimator

Thanks for the feedback so far.

Unfortunately, I do not have my scale with me tonight, but I will try to get everything else added by around mid-day tomorrow.

As for the din bar, it is fully assembled - 4 red, 4 black, 3 gray, mounting bar uncut.

Re: Electronics, Motor, and Transmission Weight Estimator

I have updated the calculator and added most of the main pneumatic components into it. If anyone else has recommendations of additional components to add in, let me know.
