Hey hogjowlz-
Are you sure you're not mixing up ounces, pounds and tons? Doing the math in reverse comes up with something a little hard to believe:
1 ton = 2,000 lbs
1lb = 16 oz.
little car = 1/64th scale (or close)
So, if a dual cell weighs a scale 8.5 tons, then the actual weight of the little car would have to be 265 lbs!
Another take on the reverse math would be to take my car (BMW 330i) which has a curb weight of 3,285 lbs, which is probably a little heavier than most of the cars modeled in little cars. So, if we divide that by 64 (1/64th scale, right?), a true scale little car would weigh a little over 51 lbs! Somehow, I think we're both wrong, but I'm not sure where.
I think figuring scale weight is not a linear calculation. I'll do some research unless someone else knows the answer.
