DUBRO PROP BALANCER TO BALANCE MONSTER TRUCK WHEELS AND TIRES

I used the original base as a template to make the holes in a 150 mm X 80 mm plate of aluminum. The two pairs of holes are spread apart 120 mm.



This is the rod that goes through the wheel. It comes with two coned shaped pieces. I added an old Maximizer 17 mm hex, a tube of plastic as a spacer and a collar with a set screw.



And this is a sequence of pics on how I assemble a wheel on the shaft in case you haven't figured it out by the pics above already.



LIPO BOX

I read that a .50 caliber AMO can from the army surplus is just right to store lipos. It’s water proof and would contain any fire that could start inside. I will probably get one in the future but until then, I have been using this little metal tool box. In case of fire inside, flames could escape from four tiny holes at the bottom corners but it’s way better than a cardboard box. I always keep it on the garage cement floor.



No brain, no headaches.
