    Good balancer?

    I read on the product reviews about a balancer, obviously out of stock. I am making an order from OSE soon so I would like to buy one from there. Any suggestions? which one is the best? I don't want to do mods to a balancer, unless it's something simple.

    This is the one everyone is talking about.

    Out of stock. And I didn't want to pay the shipping to Canada if it was in stock. So I did the next best thing....drew it up myself and had my CNC guy make me one, lol. Ground the 3/16 shaft to a point myself. Perfectly centered, sharp as all hell, and works great. All my props are 3/16 shaft so that's all I needed.

      that's the one I was planning on getting.
      Since i'm making an order, it won't bump up shipping too bad, the order will have multiple dollars (or hundreds :D) in it, shipping shouldn't be a problem.

        here are some pics and a vid of the one I had made. It's holding/spinning a raw octura X442. The edges are not the prettiest as he forgot to climb mill the final pass, but the bottoms and holes are nice and true, which is all that really matters.

            we use them at work. I have about 50 of them on my tool box right now holding up pictures of my little girl. lol. Like I said in my EDF build thread, I'm fortunate enough to have access to resources which let me do these kinds of things.

                Not stole, borrowed indefinitely, and only 2 of em. We stock a lot of these things. Like I said, I have a lot of them holding up pictures of my girl. What are you going to do with them? The magnets are useless unless you have the balancer stand to use them on.
