you boys are just getting silly now
these are not top fuel drag race engines
if we are talking about 1/8th nitro off road .21 or .28 engines then lets do so
there is a vast wealth of knowledge out there to be had simply by using your favorite search engine on your pc or mobile device or however you choose to do it .
as far as crankshaft "balancing" goes, its pretty broad as far as the generalization of "balancing" goes , if you actually want to understand the mechanics of why it needs to be balanced ( or imbalanced ) then it takes a little greater deal of knowledge retention and being able to understand the physics of it all . why a crank has a "counterweight" and what it does to effect the firing program of the combustion chamber and all kinds of BS that most people dont even need to know
my 2 cents
