He is saying that if you apply the putty like most people, you will pack it in along side of a webbing in the wheel. On a 1/2 off wheel, that puts the putty too far from the centerline of the wheel and this is not an optimal situation. You should try to keep the weight you add near the center line of the wheel since you just don't know if the original out of balance issue is caused by too much weight near the outer, inner, or center part of the wheel/foam/tire... So, to be safe, apply your balance weight near the center of the wheel. And if a lot of balance weight is required, try to spread it out and not pile it up in one small surface area. The lead tape works well for this. 
Truggy tires are the topic. Buggy tires are much narrower and are not noticeably affected. Same concept applies though.
That is what I am saying, and I believe that is Integra's opinion as well. If so, he'll do the bobble head thing for us.

It's designed to work that way for smaller props, larger props would ride on top. Seems like a lot stress on the rod setup that way. Are truggy wheels too wide to run in the middle between the rollers?
Good call on the xacto handle btw. My homeade rig is even more awesomer now.

No, Truggy tires should fit in between the raisers no problems.....I also think that's an excessive amount of stress on the rod almost to a point of giving you false readings.....try it the other way builtb16a and see it you find it easier.

No stress to worry about. It's designed to work like that. I use to balance 60 class heli blades like that all the time. And they weigh a lot more than truggy tires and the balance is way more critical on heli blades.

Ever pick up an 8"" + prop at the hobbyshop? It weighs a heck of a lot more than a truggy wheel.
