While you invest significant time and effort in preparing and maintaining your and on-road cars, tyre balancing is critically important from a safety perspective! Neglected tyre balance can cause your vehicle to bounce on the ground, leading to erratic handling and excessive vibrations. The presence of vibrations in your RC car can have cascading effects, such as screws coming loose, strain on shocks and suspension components, or even damage to parts due to bending.
Why Are RC Tyres Unbalanced?
The causes of unbalanced RC tyres resemble those affecting full-scale tyres. Factors like uneven tread wear, track deterioration, and racing vibrations lead to imbalance. Manufacturing variations and weight differences in tyres and rims further contribute. Despite appearing small, these discrepancies demand high-precision tools to detect. Even minor differences can induce instability and vibrations, especially at high racing speeds.
SkyRC introduces a digital app-based tyre balancer!
This digital gear offers precise, visual feedback, providing accurate information and eliminating guesswork for optimal RC tyre balance. The Bluetooth connectivity and a select microcontroller unit (MCU) deliver unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
Balance by Data, Not Guts Guesswork!
Spotting tyre imbalances can sometimes be accomplished through observation and a bit of guesswork. However, when it comes to precise tyre balancing, relying on a professional balancer is crucial. Unfortunately, many balancers flooded on the market are nothing more than basic metal hardware with a shaft to spin the wheel.
Guts drive you nuts sometimes!
RC pros can now ensure optimal balance for their RC tyres, enhancing performance and overall racing experience.
Innovation meets precision
Cutting-edge Technologies Behind Load Cell Technology
The Integrated Low Capacity High Accuracy(LCHA) aluminum load cell ensures 0.2g accuracy3. Its amplifier converts resistance changes into weight data, connecting to an MCU for precise real-time tracking.
Motorized Precision: Stepping into Perfection!
The built-in stepper motor, controlled by PWM signals for speed and accuracy, effortlessly enables precise weighing by position. With high torque, it accelerates swiftly and holds the position, reflecting extra weight.
Precision-driven Balancing Algorithms
This MCU-controlled tyre balancer uses tailored algorithms for RC car tyres, factoring in weight distribution, speed, and performance. Achieve optimal balance for stability, maneuverability, and improved handling.
Note: For optimal tyre balancer results, place it on a stable, level, non-vibrating surface. Vibrations or instability can harm performance, causing test inaccuracies.
Versatile Compatibility: 1/8th & 1/10th Scale
This Bluetooth-enabled tyre balancer is designed to be compatible with a wide range of 1/81 and 1/10 RC touring cars, ensuring that every enthusiast can benefit from its incredible capabilities.
Effortless Link & App Control
For easy balancing control, built-in Bluetooth simplifies communication with your smartphone via the RC Gears app. The intuitive app visually guides you through real-time data, ensuring precise results as your RC tyres are fine-tuned.
It is a must-have for both experienced enthusiasts and beginners!
Harmony in Motion: Smoothing Journeys, Balancing Rides
Bid farewell to uneven treads as the sander2 restores optimal conditions, ensuring smoothness and balance for harmonious journeys. Our balancer adds precision, erasing vibrations and boosting vehicle stability.
This duo seamlessly merges performance and stability, transforming your ride into a balanced adventure.
2.8’’ TFT Screen Effortless Glimpse of Brilliance
The 2.8-inch low-power TFT screen provides an enhanced viewing experience, undisturbed by its surroundings and unaffected by difficult angles.
It maintains a clear and intricate display, even when exposed to the sun's radiant brilliance.
Precision Engineering
Our tyre balancer is meticulously engineered with precision and durability in mind. It combines state-of-the-art technology with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance and reliability. Trust in our product's robust construction to withstand the demands of RC car enthusiasts.
Calibration Made Easy
The built-in calibration enables the balancer to get very accurate weight measurements.
In some circumstances, users can calibrate the balancer based on the specific model, tyre size, and weight distribution, ensuring consistent and precise weight measurements.
Flexible with Input Voltage of 12~18V
This balancer has got you covered wherever you are, whether it's in your garage with a ubiquitous 12V DC adapter or a DC power source, or if you're in the racing field with a battery pack.
The on-board reverse polarity protection is a crucial to safeguard against potential damage caused by incorrect power connections.
