Theres gotta be an easy way to attach balancing weights to wheels....

I use lead tape.

Umm yeah how does one get the clay to actually stick to plastic? Wont it just fall off after a few seconds or minutes of bashing on 6S?


EDIT: Could someone take a look at this please: http://youtu.be/N55jG9D8ysA
IT's my spur gear wobbling. IDK what is wrong or how to fix it.

I have clay on my wheels for balancing and it stays in place no matter what I do. In your video I think the bearing for the spur might need replacing?

I went through the same thing with the wobbly spur... 1. make sure the spur is installed so that the # of teeth printed on the side can be seen on the esc side of the car. 2. you might need to replace the pressure plate and hub (traxxas #5351). That's what worked for me.

for a split second the spur stopped, it looks like it is not flat to the slipper...

what slipper do you have on there??

An issue you might run into gluing solid objects to the wheels is that they dont stay balanced as they wear. It is easy to remove or move clay.

Centrifugal force actually keeps the clay in place. If it was on the outside of the tire it would definately fly off.

[crf450ish]

Ssanderson1 yes i have done all that but I will check again. I know for sure the numbers are facing the esc. Anr2442 I will go the clay route. My 4 year old has some clay she never used. Crayola ok?

[anr2442]

IDK. U can try it at least. Clean the rim decently before applying. U can always use a combination of weights with clay.

I use the sticky tack office stuff to do mine.

i use ready balance weights from car balancing. they have this double sided foam attached to them so they glue pretty well. the only drawback is that they come only 5 and 10 grams. for other weights i use double sided tape with extra tape on top or ca glue. glue is good too.

Alright guys thanks for all the replys. I will indeed remove my hokey balancers I have on my wheels and replace with proper balancers. I figured out my spur gear wobble problem. My video here explains it:

I am using some stick on magnetic material that i already had. I had a roll of material about 1/2" wide. I didn't like the self adhesive so i bought some outdoor carpet tape to stick it on the inside of the wheel.

lead tape... you can buy it at a sporting goods store.

Its flexible, can be cut to any weight, stays on, and its cheap....

Could someone provide me with a link of a really good single servo setup thread? With pics and everything of the undercarage of the ERBE single servo setup and everyting? Thanks!
