Hello, new to the scene, used to race 1/12th. Having trouble finding out what wheel balancer to get to fit Losi/Assoc 1/10 off road wheels. Any one know?

thanks

Something like this will do:

I've one, works straight away for rear wheels, for fronts, 2wd, just put bearings in the wheel, gives the cones something to grab. For 4wd, similar to 2wd, put a hex in the wheel.

Google "Prop Balancer" will come up with several, Tower Hobbies model illustrated are in USA.

Wheel balance isn't quite as critical with 1/10th off road as 12th circuit ;)

Yep,

It's a magnetic prop balancer.

The magnets are strong enough for 1/10
