34 You could try with a file and remove some of the metal, but I would first try to balance them with tape just to make sure which side to remove the metal. I have not tried this method myself so if I was to do it, I would be very careful not to remove too much

6 Do they actually need balancing? are they affecting your flying in anyway?
Could always use a cable tie around the motor.

0 I balance my motors, I have motor vibration OCD, for sure use aluminium tape as someone else here mentioned, it works really well. It takes a little practice to get it right but it can significantly quieten down some motors.. Unless of course the bearings are shot then that's a whole different story.

139 Back in the days when I was running 9/10 inch propellers, on these big 2212 motors, I always balanced them. This is how i used to do it...
I have never done it on mini quad motors though because I don't think there is need for that, I haven't seen one unbalanced mini quad motors I have used (2204/2206/1806/1306 etc)... If your motors really came unbalanced then it's really got crap quality and you should ask for a refund LOL...
