Ultimate Racing Wheel Balancer V2

After two years of testing in the most demanding competitions, Ultimate Racing have released the new version of its wheel balancer with some improvements made from the information received from UR team drivers like Aigoin, Batlle, Bloomfield, Drake, Matias, Savoya, Tortorici, Truhe, among others. This new version makes balancing the wheels easier, faster and more accurate thanks to a new conical axle that easily allows you to perfectly center the wheel on it. The new nut can be tightened easily without using any wheel wrench and the axle can be disassembled in order to easily feel if the wheel is correctly balanced. Also the bigger base/support and the new axle allows turning the wheel around to easily stick the weight gum.
