I ordered a ose balancer part # 80310. Ok here's the deal , is the shaft supposed to float between the magnets without the prop? Because mine doesn't float , it just falls no matter how close they are. Much less with a prop on it. What am I doing wrong? Or do I have the wrong one. I tried to balance a x442 on it with no luck.

do the magnets come out? -
Post a pitcture so we can see what's upComment

There are set screws on the bottom, loosen them and slide the arms closer to get the correct spacing.

As far as I can tell the magnets don't come out. Can't post a pic of it at this moment. The rods it comes with don't stick to a magnet.Comment

wow thats oddComment

At Rocstar22. I had them at least that close but it still won't stay up unless they are touching. I have balancer for my 1/8 buggy tires which uses ball bearings. I know how to that...but this magnet is new to me.Comment

Yeah I thought it was too. Thought the whole point was to stick to magnet. You think I got wrong rods?Comment

The arbor has to be magnetic for the balancer to work properly.Comment

So if mine isn't then I guess I'm just SOL then.Comment

There are two magnets in the one I have, one on each side of a steel axel.Originally posted by mtbenjamin77 View Post"There's nothing else I really want to do other than get up and build boats." - Mike FioreComment

contact steve. he may be able to replace the one you have. Are the arbors (the shaft the prop mounts to) stainless steel?Originally posted by Benjamin View PostComment

At mtbenjamin77 , that's what I was thinking but everybody knows that stainless steel don't stick to a magnet so why would they send that? Has anybody else had this problem?Comment

If they have one of the magnets in backwards (ie, wrong face facing the other magnet), it will not work! Check the rod(s) with any other magnet you have laying around, at least you could rule out the wrong metal for the rods. My OSE magnetic balancer works "ok" but a couple of the shafts do not run true (unfortunately one is the 3/16 rod
). I made another magnetic balance myself, and I like it much better. It is threaded rod with conical stops that center the prop. It runs very true and works great for the "final touches" .

Depends on the series of stainless - 400 series is and 300 series isn't. Could be the manufacturer got the wrong series.Originally posted by Benjamin View PostIMPBA 20481S D-12Comment
