Wheel balance hyper st

[ade909]

Hi peeps I just found a way to balance wheels on a hyper st with out the proper wheel balancer.

All I did was undo the rear suspension arm by removing the 3x25mm bolt and 3mm nut then remove the dog bone. if you have the st pro you will have to remove the 5x5mm grub screw inside the hub, then drift out the 2.5mm x 16.8mm shaft that goes through the hub.

Now assemble the rear suspension arm back into place then measure the length of the rod 56mm gives that rear hub a 90 degree angle, well in my eyes. At this point you should be ready for wheel balancing I did one wheel using blu tac just for test, and it works, befor I added weight you could feel wobble in the rear wing after I added the weight there was improvement.

The only downside is the bearings on your car have grease in them the proper balancers have very good oil bearings and are very accurate but the way you are doing it is how I use to do it and as you'll see if handling improves with this think of how the car would be with the proper balancer

Yeah I know a proper balancer would have a good quality baring, but I just tried it out for a laugh and before I balanced the wheel I spun it on the kit an you could clearly see it shaking, after the balance it all calmed down better then nothing I guess.

I tend to just use a spare rear hub,  With new standard bearings from RCbearings.co.uk with the rubber seals taken off,  Degreased then a little light oil or corrosionX on them.      As good as a proper wheel balancer but costs practically nothing.
