wheel balancer....
 

where can i get one???

:o

Much more do a TC one , i imagine it will fit an off road wheel too, i think trinity used to do one as well

i kno much more do one...but its like £55!!!!

The only thing is, one bad landing or a clip of a corner and the wheel is no longer round.

But on the up side it is purple, or blue:cool:

Remember reading about one on Balakracing ages ago but hes shut down. luckily you can archive the page.

Costs £20

you can get a prop balancer, du bro make one, have a look on some of the flight website, i got a great planes one for about £5 and made a U shaped braket to hold balancer.

You'll find it easier to look for a prop balancer, there are a lot more around and a hell of a lot cheaper.

yes i got one the black plastic prop balancers,works a treat.

pictures?

this one is what i use

ahh very interesting.. how do you 'balance' the wheels? isit the same princible as big cars and add extra weight?

add weight or just drill a small hole in the wheel

Can the wheels being so light, really be that out of balance to make any difference?

would you balance it with the tyre on? i would have thought drilling a small amount of plastic out wouldn't be enough to balance the heavier tyre?

would it make a huge difference in off road anyway?

what you do is mark wear the bottom of the wheel is then spin it lightly, if its were you made the first mark add a small amount of self adhesive lead or drill a small amount of plastic out oposite that mark till u get the wheel to stop in different positions every time.yes have to do it with tyres on as its them Ur balancing really not the rims. and it makes a hell of a difference

depends on how far its out of balance really as to what you use to balance it.

i set the wheel with tyre on,the as carl says,see where it drops to,mark it at the bottom with a felt tip pen,just a small dot will do.

then i add a bit of plasticine/bluetack and try again,if it needs a lot adding then obviously a small hole wont balance it so you can either add a bit of thin lead tape or punch a hole in the tyre(since thats where the most weight effect takes place,but i only do offroad so not sure about onroad with holes in :) )
