[traxxashpimike]

Boobs

[traxxashpimike]

Bhfffvbhggggghfft

[quadzilla26b]

can u use a dial indicator? like on a lathe?

[TOMTEC123]

Do you know how to remove water out of your tire.

cuz my anaconda tires are realy unbalanced due the water

[Squirrelod]

@TOMTEC123 Run at short bursts of WOT while holding the kit off the ground. The force of the tires will squeeze the water out.

[NitriusX]

What substance or what it was, did you stick to the tire? And where can you buy a balancer like the one in the video?

[littlerichard773]

are there any cheap balancers? perhaps a plastic one?

[littlerichard773]

are there any cheaper balancers such as a plastic one?

[TheChris1696]

if your tires arent balanced will it cause the whole truck or car to wobble? I have an E Revo and when i start driving and get up to speed the tires wobble and makes the truck wobble? I have no clue why this is happening. Any ideas?

[kozyse7en]

@kozyse7en because if the wheel is balance, why does it matter where the wheel lands? it will just land where ever it want to because there is no heavy side? right??? i think a balanced wheel is based on if it rocks back and forth and not by a 90 degree angle? let me know if im wrong

[Redneck13x]

Is there another way to balance tires if you dont have the fancy balancer?

[Squirrelod]

@Redneck13x You can remove the hub off of your kit and hold it while the tire spins or modify a plane prop balancer.

[sgtcat09]

its tempting to price is right it and just spin that bitch lol

[peepers56874346]

Is there any point in balaceing truck wheels?

[Squirrelod]

Truck, buggy, truggy... the reasons are all the same.

[fraekkerten]

Awesome.. thanx, now i know what i gonna spend my weekend on :)

cheers

[Mnpunkrulez]

heya, nice video, do you know of some 1/10 offroad slick tyres (tires) ?

I've been looking all over the internet only to fail. Thanks.

[Squirrelod]

Not at the top of my head. It would varry from size of rim and kit hex as well.

[Sublime122]

Hey I have a ?. My nitro stampede stars and then shuts rite off like 10 seconds later what should I do?

[Mnpunkrulez]

I'm not the smartest person when it comes to nitromethane engines, but I think it's your carb, if you don't know what i'm talking about, it's the part under the filter, but over the chasis, where there is a long thing coming out with a screw in it. Try visiting Alishamnao's channel, he's got an awesome video.

[BOUNTYHUNTRZ100]

how can you prevent wheel ballooning

[Squirrelod]

Narrow your tire and strap them. My strapping video will be up next week and narrowing is up this week.

I have threads on both in the proline section of the forum.

[wilksy1992]

whats the tool you us called????????

[TimidFury]

It's the "Ultimate Racing Wheel Balancer"

Item number is: UR8401

[Milidiablo]

surely you want the marker after balencing to stop randomly, not at that 90 degree angle?

[Squirrelod]

No, you have no loaded weight on 2 sides.

The weight will counter-balance the heavy end, and per the gravitational pull with bot hsides being equal, they will balance at 90 and 270.

Remember- you are adding weight to one side to counter another. Not all 4s.

[djbis]

Wouldlike to get a balancer for 14mm and 17mm MT tires, is there such a tool in existence?

[99876654]

what bearings are in the tire balancer tool-thing? are they creramic? I was wondering if I could get some to put in my TC =D

[Squirrelod]

I believe they are metal.

[99876654]

how did you get them to spin so freely?

[Squirrelod]

I use CowRC's MooSlick which is a silicone spray.

[grinde91]

are factory mounted tires pre-balanced?

[Squirrelod]

some yes, some no.

[1prospect12]

where can i find those blue tires online. i would like them for my mad fire.

[jojomoor]

Hey Squirrelod , i wanna get wheels for my 1;10 rc monster truck .But its not a well known brand ..would any 1;10 monster truck wheels fit on my truck?

- Jordan

[Squirrelod]

Hello Jordan,

You need to find a rim with the same hex that your kit runs off of. Then, I would check out the rim size and see what you can find. I personally like ProLine.

[jojomoor]

Ok Thanks :)

-Jordan

[FKAguy]

oh I get it, but whats that thing you add to the tire?

[KevinRCMan]

puddy...you can prolly find some at your hobby store or and arts and crafts store

[FKAguy]

I stille dont get what I'll need to balance the tires

[jhnstncl2]

i was wondering if there is any way to reduce tire wobble? not sure if you already have a vid of this topic if not is there any way you can make one? Thanks alot for all you do your a great help and your vids are a wonderful learning experience for all

[100tear]

hi !:D

did you made that balancer or did you buy it?

if you did buy it can you tell me where to get it whats the product name and stuff

and could you send me the online store link

please and thank you :D:D:D

nice vid btw :D

[jackson5nok]

where do you buy a tire balancer like the one you have in the video, I have looked and they start at $70 and up. Thanks for you informative videos.

[elcodude621]

tyre treds does tire truing and tire balancing on the car. this guy is only balancing tires up and down, not side to side.all of you honda nissan,and toyota owners may still have a vibration problem.510-581 3378.

[Squirrelod]

What does this have to do with hobby tires on a RC kit where foam can bunch up into one side of a rubber tire on a plastic rim?

The video is NOT for a 1:1 car.

It should be obvious that it is not for a 1:1 car by the tire and kit sitting on a 8 foot work bench.

[RathaSlayer]

Lol :) hes just not that smart.

[djbis]

This cracked me up.

[cycle2deth]

thanks squirrel my slash tires are wobbling like my neighbors car!

[Squirrelod]

The tire would get ripped off from the torque in no time.

[timmytime1793]

I think he ment instead of putty

I used hot glue instead of putty and it worked fine

[Squirrelod]

type thetoyz and then com at the end. I cannot post links, sorry.

[chillygoat]

where's this store at?

[NitroPem]

how do you link it?

[Squirrelod]

Click on the address above the vid, right click, click copy, and then paste it for others to benefit from

[NitroPem]

ok.

[revobasher14]

I want to price is right it, and spin that bitch.

Nice Video...Answered alot of questions, But how do you make an adapter for a 23MM Hex?

[wstanek7]

where did you get that mini tire balancer. =D

[traxxasrockhead]

cool vid, who make that balancer?

[mandingga07]

so the tire wobble don't really matter than? after you added the putty it still was wobbling a lot. i know you didn't get it exactly balanced, but it seems like the tire isn't on the rim properly.. did i miss something?

[Squirrelod]

I used the tire on my "how to remove tires" vid. What you are seeing is that the tire is not glued and the foam is not sitting in the tire perfectly.

I just grabbed a tire. My rims are typically black and it is hard to show a marker on video. I needed a white rim or something to contrast.

[mempey]

What kind of putty do you use? I have used lead tape from a golf store in the past and it works great, but it is lead.

[rcracer90]

Should i do that to my T4 and b4 tires? I do race so i like my T4 and b4 to be set up right.

[Squirrelod]

I would. Prop balancer with adaptors would be best for you

[mustangfreak12345]

i have sound

[FloridaDudeRC]

great vid dude

[hulk242]

were could i find that tire balancer

[Squirrelod]

Any hobby store

[nhojyelbom]

[masher2k]

I'm subed to you but i DID NOT watch the video, why? well becuse i got no sound =\ i'm sorry these video's are nothing without hearing your voice! i still gave it 5/5

[Squirrelod]

I have sound. Are your speakers on? Is your YT muted? Check your setup please.

[CalleUnion]

I got sound.

[Squirrelod]

Gracias! I am subsrcibing to you now Calle!

[masher2k]

yes i do have speakers but my sound card has to be reinstald. it will be instald in like a week or so.

[Squirrelod]

Sorry, I thought that you said that there was no sound HAHA. I have actually had some vids where I mute the vid sound and mix in other audio. I was thinking that it was preset to a different setting. Im sorry, I missread!

[champ0497]
