I drag my cars and when I got serious about fine tuning everything including balanced wheels it made a huge difference. Balanced wheels also make a huge steering difference when running at high speed. This a fine economy device.
I am fairly new to the hobby and still learning, my question is how much of a difference dose this make when you balance your tires for 10th scale buggie on carpet.
I find that I get more grip with balanced tires... if the wheel is wobbling around then grip is off because the tire is bouncing up and down and having less time getting full contact patch compared to a properly balanced tire. I find it important to spot glue and re-balance tires after every race day... sometimes dirt will cake on the clay and require removing a pinch of clay
Centrifugal force keeps the clay in place while the wheel is spinning. At rest, the clay is sticky enough to stay put. As long as it’s the non-hardening type of clay 👍🏻
make sure it's a "Non Hardening" clay, very important that it specifies that, I have grown to appreciate the clay from Dialed Hobbies, it never comes off during a race where the clay from Hobby Lobby is too hard and tends to fall off after a nasty tumble.
Have been trying to get a banner for our track from you guys. Waitlisted, Emailed and submitted request (ID 1985) but have not gotten a response. Are they available to purchase?

Thank you for showing us how to balance RC wheels 😊
I should have bought this balancer

It will make your buggy handle a little more consistently and roll nice and even biggest thing to having a good setup is everything being parallel
It helps you notice the changes you make better. If your car is rolling smoothly then your other changes will fell more dynamic.

After you have founf your heavy side and add your clay, do you want the clay to land back at the bottom??
Why add weight? When you can take it away.. with rc propeller you scrap the plastic blade to balance them cause putty would fling off..
A stupid question. How will the clay stay when you drive the car?
The clay just sticks. Doesn’t fall off

Modeling clay?
Doesn't that come off relatively easy, or are you replacing it with something else?

New Zealand has no stock of your wicked tyres
Will these fit the monster truck tires, and the lmt tires size?
No, they would be too big for our balancer.
