The JConcepts Tire Balancer features an aluminum and steel design that blends nicely into any pit area. The balancer comes set in a storage box for protection and travel convenience. The collapsible design rests in a lay-down configuration but pivots to a 90 degree stance and locks when in usable condition.  

The center point of any balancer are the bearings, the free spinning action rests inside the JConcepts hub design. The interchangeable thumb nuts for 1/10th and 1/8th wheel versatility are located on the main axle which can be moved from its home base position to its critical balancing position with ease. The upright is built in aluminum material, anodized, etched with instructions and chamfered for that extra lustrous look.

The base of the item is built to protect, position and maintain a small footprint at all times. The base has 4 stand-off legs to hold a steady structure while a thumb screw secures the upright in either the up or down position. The JConcepts balancer is pre-assembled and backed by JConcepts customer support and racing team lineage.

NOTE: The JConcepts Racing Team uses a modeling clay for balancing material which is readily available through hobby based retailers.

For the money this is not worth it; it came with bad bearings out of the box(VERY COMMON ISSUE). The supplied bearings stop on friction thus balancing tires were impossible, wheels are not allowed to freely spin putting the heavier side down. Nowhere can you figure out what size bearings you'd need to replace. If you order these, buy 2 ceramic bearings size 5x8x2.5mm to replace the poorly made bearings on this balancer. You're in it over $90 with tax after that!

The older prop balancer works better. On larger 1/8 scale wheels where the center hole is a tad bigger; this balancer does not center the wheel good enough so you'd be off balance no matter what. You'd need to take your hex size; 17mm nut, file away the threads in the center, slip the wheel on, push in the 17mm hex and tighten the outside piece to that, it'll center the wheels perfectly.

The additional work it takes to make this the perfect balancer will cost you extra $$. For this much money, they should've provided ceramic bearings or higher quality ones plus Adaptable wheel hexs so you can get the perfect centering of the wheel. The idea is perfect; the manufacturing execution failed here. I didn't send it back because I like the design and don't want to deal with the hassle, I fixed the flaws and made it perfect, just cost me an extra $20 bucks or so, plus 3 hours of my time trying to find the bearings at 3 local hobby shops.

Buy with caution. Or I'd recommend the Integy wheel balancer which is cheaper; works way better out of the box.

Awesome tire balancer , I always wanted to have this item and yes it's expensive but it's also really well made
compared to others Balancers out there. Fit and finish is really top notch and works very well with Buggy tires 1/10
1/8 buggy and Truggy tires. I removed one star because of the price..
