Nitro Wheel Balancing - 04-01-2006, 04:31 PM

I just purchased I high end wheel balancer for my nitro wheels.

You would not believe how much off balance our tires and wheels are.

I just did all my Mt and buggy tires, and I could not believe how unbalnced they were.

Just wondering if anyone else balances their tires, I know for bashing it wouldnt matter, but i am anxious to see at the track how different they feel.

I am thinking of offering this as a service, what do you think?

Yes I did, yeah mine came wiht no instruction but I talked to Patrick the owner he was at Silver state and he got me situated. It just takes time and patience to get them balanced correctly.

Ok, you can mail them to me or drop them off to me.

Im not sure if I want to get into this trackside, too time consuming and I would want it done right.

Thats cool Ryan or definitely at the pro series, we will have time there....

RCDAD,
The thing with doing it at LH, usually my pit space is limited due to my parts, rc and all the other stuff i bring. and on the large table, if someone bumps it while its blancing it might throw it off (not 100% sure on this but I think it would rock the tire more if bumped) Also if I do one, then someone else might want to, next thing I know I have 5 guys wnating theres done, then I dont have to time to work on my own rc's and race. That is whay I want o avoid this if possible.

So how does it work? You put the tire on the balancer, then wait till it settles and add putty to the opposite side till it doesn't settle in a specific spot anymore?
