Just FYI stuff:

You'll need a 17mm hub to use the Dubro prop balancer for buggy and truggy wheels. The zero offset truggy wheels want to lean over so make sure the silicon tube is tight. Replace it if it gets loose, or just use a collar similar to what you see on your linkage.

The Losi/Dynamite units use 17mm hexes. Hudy units use interchangeable arms for all types of wheels.

Balancing isn't a perfect science, but it's MUCH better than not doing it at all. You will notice improved traction and longer lasting parts. Don't believe me? Just pick up your ride with one hand and hit the gas with the other. Hold on tight...lol. Convulsions mean you should balance.
