Balancing tires is crucial to ensure optimal performance and stability on the track, as even the slightest imbalance can lead to vibrations that affect speed and handling. SkyRC's precision tire balancer is here to help minimize these disturbances and enhance the overall feel of the car.
The Sky RC Bluetooth Tire Balancer offers a seamless tire balancing experience with effortless Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to control and monitor the device conveniently via their mobile devices. Its precision stepper motor technology takes tire balancing to the next level by enhancing accuracy and minimizing errors. This tire balancer boasts remarkable load cell accuracy, delivering precise measurements to an impressive 0.35 grams on 1/10 scale wheels and 0.5 grams on 1/8 scale wheels, ensuring your racing tires are perfectly balanced for optimal performance on the track. With these cutting-edge features, the Sky RC Bluetooth Tire Balancer is a must-have tool for racers chasing the ever-elusive tenth.
TECH NOTE:- To achieve the best tire balancing results, ensure that the balancer is positioned on a stable, level surface that is free from vibrations. The presence of vibrations or any instability can adversely affect the balancer's performance, leading to potential inaccuracies in your tire balancing tests.

As far as calibration goes, I was having the same issue. However I was able to remedy the problem. I had the adapter on during the whole process. When a followed the specific steps shown in the video it worked ever time.
Love the tire balancer absolute game changer for balancing your Rc tires after packing them with foam and putting glue getting them balanced makes all the difference!
I would buy this with caution. The one I purchase immediately failed calibration and nothing I tried would fix this. After looking online, I found that other were having the same problem. Some people posted on Skyrc’s YouTube channel and their version of support to fix the problem was to copy and paste instructions from the manual. I mean who could’ve figured that one out? If you have $200 to throw at a paperweight it does look cool.
Very nice tire balancer, the only issue with it, it's advertised as a 1/10 scale balancer. It will only do 1/10 scale buggy tires, not short course tires. There is no adapter available for short course tires. Hopefully they make an adapter available for it. Works very nice with the buggy tires.
Good machine does a good job with both size of tires 1/8 scale and 1/10 scale tires...
Reviews are sharply divided. Several owners report the unit failing initial calibration out of the box, sometimes on replacement units as well, and some say they could not get repeatable balancing results; a few note support did not help. Others report it works well and is accurate once calibration is completed by following the instructions closely, with attention to level surface, vibration and weighing the adapter. Multiple reviewers say it only handles 1/10 scale buggy wheels, with no adapter available for short course or other tire types, and that a 1/8 adapter and a 12V power supply are sold separately. Some suggest weighing the balancing clay on a digital scale.
