RC29. My Memory Having RC Car. No 2, My DIY RC Wheel Balancing.

After buying my Kyosho Buggy there is a problem the all 4 wheel is wobble when in full speed where the wheel not touching the ground. To solve this problem the wheel need some balancing. So look into the net found HUDI Wheel Balancing Machine look nice and expensive. I am not joining any competition, i am just to have fun, not practical to buy one, seldom use. So look into my RC Loose parts then this idea came to build my own DIY RC Wheel Balancing. No cash flow out from my pocket.

How to use it. Remember that when turn the wheel should freely. Wait until it almost stop if the wheel rotate up and down that mean ur wheels un balance. Put some weight or raisin on the bottom of the wheel and then turn the wheel again, if at the end the wheel still rotate up and down add more weight until u get the wheel turn smoothly until stop no up and down.


On 7/10/2020 i redo this wheels balancing. Use bigger front suspension set from Hobao T058 all new part. Same assembly but improve.
