Active Hobby Products chassis balancers & brass weights

Japanese company Active Hobby Products have introduced their chassis balance tool and also an arrangement of brass chassis balance weights. Starting with the balance tool, it adapts a common design that helps to achieve a perfect left-to-right chassis balance without the use of scales. The tools offer a sturdy base and hardened steel pins that interlock with the balance holes most of today’s electric and nitro on-road chassis have to offer. Placing the car on the pins and using additional weights to balance the left and right weight help to achieve a 50/50 weight bias in order to gain equal left and right hand turning characteristics. The balance tools come in sets of two and they hit stores soon.

Also new and the perfect complement for the above tool are the fine-tune brass balance weights. Available in 2.5g, 5g, 7.5g and 10g variants the weights are of a low-profile design with the tallest being the 5g weight that measures 5.5mm in height. This allows to mount the weights even in crowded surroundings such as the steering area without having clearance issues. The weights come in pairs, they are black anodised, sport brass-coloured edges as well as flashy etchings for easy identification. Unfortunately Active Hobby do not mention any fastening methods so we guess they still need double sided tape to fix them in place.
