rallyx, as the car spends more time in the air off big jumps whilst using throtel to adjust flight

a few guys at my shop do it 1 time whenever they get a new pair of tires and it seems to work well keeps cars in better control. I think im going to give it a try and see if what happens.

I have a magnetic prop balancer that i use for 1/10th TC and buggy wheels, it works a treat and i think it makes a difference but it is very time consuming.

If you've got everything else sorted or your car, diff, shocks etc then it's not gonna hurt to ballance your wheels but its deffo the last setup thing to do in my view.
