What are people using for wheel/tire balancing?

I've seen the AE Factory tool, and the AKA one with clay looks like its on back order almost on every website...

Put the wheels on your front hub , spin it and use poster tack to balance? Why do you need a $40 tool to do this?

posted in other thread about hole punching tires....

This is what I use. bought $6 bucks. I sharpened the ends and squeeze it between my fingers. Works great. You will get a great feel for it quickly.

and then wall putty for the ballast on the inside of the rim. Doesnt have to be perfect.

2nd for the front hub and a buck or 2 for modeling clay. Color choices as well so you can kinda match wheel color.

A Top Flight magnetic prop balancer is hands down the best thing out there for 1/10th scale tires. They're one of the most inexpensive options too, when I got mine years ago it was about $15. The only drawback is you need to rig up a spare hub to do 1/8th scale buggy wheels, and truggy tires are too heavy for it.
