Lovely video with good info! Being unbalanced can also be harder on the wheel bearings. As you stated close enough is plenty good , but I've seen some be extremely unbalanced to the point you could visibly see them shaking at higher speeds- not good.
Thanks for the video and keep up the great work 👍

A lot of people don’t understand how much venting a tire helps… on fast cars with big tires that expand like the e revo or a Kraton you NEED to vent the tire. Reduces the pizza cutter effect, which gives better handling and takes tons of stress off your glue job. Venting also helps balance the tire a TON, putting your tire under a vacuum creates some wild shaking. Plus water WILL get in even if you seal the rim and don’t vent the tire… trust me… your glue isn’t a perfect seal when those tires balloon

I made a tire balancer with spare 2wd Traxxas spindles, and a couple random plastic bits....clean the grease out of some new bearings, and add a couple drops of marvel mystery oil.
Another tip when balancing, put a line on the balancer and the back of the wheel.
A visual reference helps.
Cleaning rubber/ wheel with Simple green seems to help tire glue stick better(not sure why, but I've always had good luck with it)

Something simple & ppl do miss , me being one of them . Get water in them , throw them out OR boil them off if tread is worthy of big messy & time consuming effort but its worth it. No venting tires since its always alphalt , here. No tape either , tiny q tip dab of whats always @ hand , 3M 5200 Marine sealant which will set up overnight .
