This month I would like to highlight one of my favorite tools the “Dubro Tru-Spin Balancer”.

What many modelers do not know is that none of your spinning assemblies on an RC Helicopter are balanced! Yes, you can generally get away with not balancing these assemblies but lets be real…. Vibration consumes power! The smoother your machine runs the longer it will last and the better it will perform! I use this tool to balance the following assemblies -

• Auto Hub / Clutch Assembly – 16,000 – 18,000 rpm
• Main Gear / Auto Hub Assembly – 1800 – 2150 rpm
• Complete Tail Rotor Assembly – 9,000 – 10,000 rpm

If you are serious about R/C Helicopters,  take it to the next level of modeling by balancing these assemblies!

The Dubro Tru-Spin can be purchased from just about any hobby shop for around $30.00
