tell us how it works. but even if you do balance your tires/wheels good, woudlnt the foams just shift around causing them to be unbalanced again? then you will needa take off all putty, and do it all over right? wouldnt that be a pain >

Ok well all of our stuff is in the house now, but man what a job trying to figure out where to put everything. We moved from a 4 bedroom appt into a 6 bedroom house, and we still have space issues. Oh well we will get it all figured out this weekend(I hope??). Anyway the Hobby room is packed full of goodies, including the Dubro balancer that I ordered. I put it together last night, and tried it out. It is a little bit whimpy for MT tires/wheels, and the adapter kit is pretty much useless for MT wheels. The tires barely fit between the end caps on the balancer, and the adapter is just too weak to hold MT size wheels. I still have a lot of work to do around the house in order to get things in order first, before I can commit some real time to the hobby room and see what I can work out with this thing. I believe that I can make it work for me, but I will have to come up with some sort of mounting shaft system to use with it in order to get it to work properly. The balancer seems ok, but for the money spent($28 kit & $18 adapter) Nearly $50 I would have rather made one myself from scratch. at any rate I will make it work once I get the time and come back with an update.
Unfortunately during setup last night we blew up one of our 42" plasma TVs. It is a Toshiba dual voltage which we have been using on 220v for the last two years, but when we plugged it into 120v here sparks shot out of the cord in several places and fried the power supply. It is supposed to be an auto voltage set, but we have to do a little research with the Base PX and see what we can come up with. According to the manual there were three models like this one made and two of them are 220v only. It looks like they put the wrong power supply into this set. $2000 down the tubes. That sucks. Oh well, such is life I guess.
