I LOVE the fact that I'm not the only RC channel brave enough to dive into physics equations mid-video! Great job! I loved the practical demo at the end, too. 😎

Awesome! Love Mudboss!

Amazing work

If you're glueing your own wheels you can also pre-balance them. Before you glue your tires experiment with the placement of the tires on the rim by spinning the tire on the rim and looking for the best-balanced spot. Often you can get them very close without adding any weight.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to do that with my next set of wheels and tires.

Amazing video ma man you are 1 smart Dude thank you it was really informative jus ordered one today 🤙

Awesome review with quite a scientific approach. One aspect that was missed is the out of round dimensions which was quite apparent in some of the tyres. This would have a similar affect to traction even with the tyres well balanced.

I considered addressing the out-of-round issue but decided against complicating the discussion further, given the already nuanced nature of the balancer's problems. But you are absolutely right about it. Even during the planning phase, I suspected it might be an issue and thought I should check it before even attempting to balance the weight distribution. Then, when I did put it on the sander first, I was pretty surprised by how much it was wobbling. I tried sanding it a little, hoping it might help somewhat, but it did not do much. At the end of the day, I had two thoughts. One is that the tire is soft, and maybe under the weight of the car, it will have a less pronounced asymmetry. Another is that the ballooning of the tire might also have an evening-out effect. However, I did not investigate either hypothesis further. Perhaps I will revisit this in the future.

@@RCJuice Yes I agree. It would add unnecessary complications to the results and may even water down the true potential of the tyre balancer . The out of round issue could be more of the tyre manufacturer quality and would distract the purpose of the review itself. Great Job.

Something to note, inserts can shift resulting in an imbalance. Check tire/insert/wheel balance as necessary.

Man, this is one of the best reviews I have seen. You guys do it right!

Thank you so much! That's exactly what we aim for. It takes a lot to make a video like this, so it's great to know we're on the right track.

Again... great video! Thank you for taking the time to make it and explain all of the intricacies!

What a great and educational way to show the potential of this tool. Even i got a hold of it .thx

Pretty cool balancer, I can justify almost 180 bucks for this balancer. If I was racing pro then yes maybe I could justify it.

Great content. You talked me into getting one.

great video very thorough testing and demos. I've been balancing mine using a prop balancer and guessing on locations and various clay weights. Time consuming but it works for now.

Appreciate your feedback and glad you enjoyed the video! It's great that you've found a method that works for you, it must be satisfying to see a well-balanced wheel spin smoothly after spending the extra time and effort

Great video!! thanks for sharing

Your experiment valid and reliable welll done! Bravo💥💥💥💯💯💯💯Now all you need is for it to be peer reviewed!

Great tool! Wonder if it could work for aircraft props.

Good video.. ty.. do stadium truck tires fit?

Is there an adaptor for F1 wheels like the Exotek or schumacher wheels?

I think this has potential for RC airplanes, balancing props and in particular spinners. It would need some design changes, but the technology is surely transferable?

@RCJuice

4 ай бұрын

Interesting Idea. I would think the tech principles would transfer, although I am not sure how would you make the adjustments on a prop. Is this something people currently do with airplane props?

@Lipo-man

@@RCJuice Yes - definitely. If you google rc prop balancer you will see the low tech solution we all use. It works fine for props, but in my experience not at all well for spinners - which are much more wheel-like…

This guy's a real salesman this guy should be the next replacement for the billy maze type commercials. The project farm like test with sander sliding was like sob I got to see if this is in the budget. Thud could be the difference in first or last place.

I would love something like this for airplane props

@RCJuice

Interesting Idea! Is it a big problem for props? How would you add mass to compensate?

The 1st wheel you balanced was so out of true balancing it seams accademic. I think your right about glueing the tires your self - if you balence before glueing you can rotate the tire on the rim to move the heavy / high spot realtive to the wheel - Full size tires have both marked with paint dots - and some wheels have there low spot marked so you can alighn the tires high spot with the rims low

Leaving this comment here as it’s the most recent video… I’ve been doing research with your videos, and was wondering if you recommend any motors for the arrma big rock V3. I just want to give it a bit more prep and run it on 6s

So what I heard is, this i great product, but I need to wait a few months for some kinks to be worked out before getting one

That's fair. We are actually sold out, and we hope that the next batch will have already addressed these issues.

Can a battery charger be used to power this device?

Is that DIY PU rubber tire?

Dang great video. The reviews on these look terrible but you really gave me the confidence to get one. There’s a lot of people running around not using their full brain 😂

We sold out what we had and currently are working with SKYRC on fixing the issues. Hopefully in a few weeks we will have it again with an improved adapter 🤞

Lap times of balanced vs unbalanced please.

Nice how big if a tire will it take? Looking to balance 1/8 scale foam tires.. BSR

@RCJuice

Cannot say for sure, but it is made for 1/0 and 1/8 scale with the separate adapter. The clearance from the center of the shaft to the bottom plate is about 60mm, so that would be the max possible radius of a tire.

Great video. I bought one, but cannot get the thing to calibrate. I have tried many things (including removing the adapter). Nothing seems to work. Unfortunately, It looks like I may have to return the tool.

@RCJuice

4 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear that, I assume you made sure that the shaft is empty at the beginning of the calibration process and you only attach the adapter when it prompts to do that.. I guess there might be still unresolved mystery about this.

It does not look like it's going to fit. The clearance from the shaft to the bottom plate is about 60mm. Unless you saw off part of the bottom plate and let the tire hang of the table's edge... :)

That adapter wobble makes this thing pretty much useless.

What now?

The preassembled tire/wheel was wobbling all over the place. The people assembling them don't care if you win the race or not...

Got damn. You’re a genius. Also not buying this. Looks like a headache

this thing is not properly balance your tyres maybe a software update can solve this
