Description
This balancer is meant to accommodate wheels with a 12mm hex (it has only been tested with 1/16 scale wheels).
There is two variations: vise and base. The vise version is made to lock into a vise:
And the other version has its own base and is slightly shorter:
PARTS: You will need two 608 bearings, one m4 screw (to hold the wheel on), and another m4 screw to secure the back of the axle (you can use a regular screw with a washer to cover the bearing's inner ring; I just used a knob screw).
For assembly, use these the pictures below:

NOTE 2:
If you are not familiar with wheel balancers, THIS WILL NOT BALANCE YOUR TIRES! This only tells you where the heavy spots are on your wheel!
If you have any problems or feedback, feel free to comment; and if you print it, I would love to see it!
