Wheel Balancing

[ldabkey]

What is the best way to balance a wheel? I have a jig made and it identifies the heavy side of the wheel. Is it best to lighten the heavy side or weight the light side.

If you weight the light side, what do you use to weight? How can you ensure it will stay there during a race?

What procedure do you use and how can you feel assured the wheel is balanced?

IMHO there is no advantage of trying to balance wheels. Visit this website to learn how to build a solid car.

When my oldest was a tiger cub 7 years ago I tried it all. I did not get any results until I used the methods taught on the 5kids website. Save yourself some time and money and buy a set of basx from John. I rate wheel balancing right up there with putting a scout car in a humidifier or baking the blocks.
