Ive Tried Both Dyna and the Hudy balancer's and feel they are No where NEAR as accurate as the Dubro prop balancer...as far as an adapter...you need a spare 17mm hex and Nut and a couple pieces of fuel tubing...No adapter needed.
If you want to get REAL anal about balancing try doing your rims with a Magnetic prob balancer...there nice item's to have in the shop when balancing tires.
ALSO MAKE sure to Spin up the tires for at least a quali or 2 before balancing...the foam's WILL shift and cause the balance to be out once they find their seat.
ALL TIRES require balancing Buggy or truggy....they May Not shake or wobble on the car...but on the balancer They ARE out....whether it be .5g or 1g....Ive Never come across a set that was 1000% purfect out of the package or after glueing.
