Hudy Wheel Balancer - Feedback?

I have had LRP truggy tires on this balancer which are tall and there wasn't any clearance issues.

Are they as big as MT tires 6" to 7" in diameter, and 3" to 4" wide? Unless you have actually tried putting MT tires on there we have no idea if they will fit. So get an MT tire and try it out so you can actually share with us wheather or not it will work. Thank you for your efforts Sir.

I bought one today based on the initial comment that anything would fit but I'm worried now. It will be here in a couple of days but the Hudy will also fit those truggy tires but not MT or 40 series wheels.

Well bottom line is that you will now be able to try it out and give us the answer that we seek, which is weather or not MT wheels will work on the Hudy balancer since no one can give us a first hand account about the matter. CONGRATULATIONS You are the RCM guinie pig.

Small correction, I will be trying out the Ultimate Racing balancer because an earlier account said anything will fit but now I am not so sure since Truggy tires fit the Hudy balancer as well. Look for a post above where I note the maximum dimensions Hudy said the balancer can handle, definitely no MT support for it.

I just got back in town and opened the UR Wheel balancer recommended earlier in the thread, it definitely won't balance much more then truggy tires.

Although it doesn't have the height it looks like it has the width minus the fact that the included nut doesn't fit in any of my Traxxas 3.3 rims with Talons. The 17mm hub works fine but the outside nut is about 1/4" too big, the threading is different then all of my 17mm hubs so I have nothing that will hold the tire on right now.

Looks like the DuBro mod was by far the best idea but now that I have this I am going to add some height to it and see if I can get it working, just need to find a 17mm nut that will fit it.
