#105500 HUDY UNIVERSAL TIRE BALANCING STATION
The HUDY Universal Tire Balancer allows you to balance touring car and off-road vehicle tires.
All types of cars can be negatively influenced by unbalanced tires, including electric or nitro
touring cars, 1/8 GT or off-road cars. Unbalanced wheels give unwanted vibration to the shock
absorbers and have negative effects on traction and stability. The HUDY Universal Tire Balancer
allows you to exchange and use different wheel adapters to fit either 1/10 touring car wheels,
1/8 off-road, truggy and GT wheels, 1/5 on-road and 1/6 buggy wheels.
Rubber tires with inserts are particularly prone to imbalance due to their assembly and gluing
process. Foam tires may also be unbalanced and as such it is suggested to use the HUDY
Universal Tire Balancer to check and balance every type of wheel used.
The HUDY Universal Tire Balancer allows you to find the unbalanced part of the wheel. The
application of additional weight (typically lead tape or plasticine) will aid in balancing the wheel
properly and thus improve the performance and handling of your RC car.
Each wheel adapter features an integrated steel shaft which is precisely fit in high-precision
ball-bearings which are degreased and lightly oiled with lightweight AeroShell 12 oil for ultra
smooth and free rotation. Each wheel adapter also features a smart wheel nut for quick, easy,
and secure wheel mounting.
Optional wheel adapters are available for different scales and types of RC cars:

It may be necessary to repeat the procedure
a few times to verify the wheel balance.
Repeat the procedure until the wheel stops
in a different position each time.
Mount the wheel to the drive hub at the end
of the wheel adapter. Use the included nut
to fasten the wheel to the wheel adapter;
tighten the nut securely.
The heaviest part of the wheel will always
stop at the bottom.
Apply the balancing material to the inside of
the wheel, OPPOSITE to the heavy side at the
bottom of the wheel. The balancing material
must be pressed to the edge of the wheel
so it stay firmly in place when you run the
car. The quantity of the balancing material
depends on how unbalanced the wheel is.
