    Which prop balancer do you use?

    Just seeing what balancers everyone uses. Using this one ATM http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-80310. But thought of trying this one from hk http://bit.ly/17rhvK6

    I use a Tenshock balancer from MinicatracingUSA, http://www.minicatracingusa.com/imag...cs/propbal.jpg I think it is similar to the OSE one. I "balanced" my first prop yesterday. A 27mm small prop for the Mini ECO . I was surprised to find how sensitive the balancer was, in fact I hoped it would be less so as I was quite exasperated with the process, lol...
    Too many boats, not enough time...

      For boat props get the OSE one, this type have proved to be popular.

        Home made. A couple of level razor blades and a ground shaft or shaft and cones.

            I've got a topflite balancer, works good. The OSE one would be a good choice though, you can even get them in NZ!

              I Use a topflite for boat and plane props, have a 3/16 mandrel for boat props. Don't really think it makes much difference which you choose with the magnetic balancers, all work the same. I have only tried the one, had it for quite a while.
              If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

                I'm a newby but I got this one.20130817_233732.jpg

                I'm not an expert by any means but it seams to work pretty good. I've noticed that heavy spinnng is not going to give an accurate reading. I tend to just tap the outer blade lightly to see how much the prop moves and it's much more accurate then just spinning the hell out of it.

                Just my experiance.
