I use this, it will works right out of the pack for 1/10 losi/AE tires and wheels. It also works for 1/8 buggy and truggy wheels but you need to add a wheel hex.

No, no mods not for losi and AE wheels. As long as the hole in the wheel is small enough for the two cones to secure tightly to the shaft it will work.
To balance the tire just slowly spin it and see what side falls to the bottom then add a small amount of modeling clay to the inside of the wheel on the opposite side. when you are finished you should be able to stop the wheel in any position and it will stay there. It does take a few tries to get the hang of it but its not difficult once you do.

takes work, be prepared to be frustrated. but perhaps u wont b/c u'll now know from us that it does take patience and time. but the rewards are there. both in the efficiency of the drivetrain, the action (or lack their of) on ur suspension, and ur also taking better care of ur drivetrain. not to mention it looks cool when u smack ur throttle and ur car doesnt vibrate all to hell doin so.
