balancing blades

[drdarren]

I have a traxxas villain ex and want to upgrade to metal blades (octura 447). it says i have to balance and polish the blades. what does that entail? is it easy to do myself or do i need someone to do it for me. I am new to rc boating and am looking to get the aquacraft ul-1 but for now i am playing with the villain.

thanks

You were closer than you think about balancing a prop... Also try and to a search, lots of info in many posts

Thank you for the info and the link but after reading it I think I would rather buy ones that are balanced already. Who has the best prices for balanced blades?

I can try to post some pics of the equipment I use to balance, sharpen, cup and etc metal props. It is stuff I have accumulated over the years. Will try to get some pics by this evening.

Please do so. I believe that you have lots of experience and ideas that you can share with us.
