The name is appropriate since I wrote it up tonight. the system uses the weight fo the tire and wheel to do most of the work for you. check it here:

Id plan on minimum of 14 oz of weight in each tire for 40's, Ive been running airsoft bb's in Alis rear tire that could not be balanced at the tire sop for a few months now....with 10oz of sitck on weights from them 4 tries it was never right

5 oz of airsoft bb's and smooth as silk
