Basically, first of all make sure your motor mount is very stable.
Make sure the hub is perfectly centred on the wheel. We used some thin grippy material between the wheel and the hub to prevent it slipping. Make sure all six bolts are tight.
Then find a piece of something that can fit in the hole in the hub and suspend the wheel like a plumb bob. You'll see it list a lot to one side or the other. The weight of the fill tube leaves it way off balance. Attach weights to the wheel until it balances as perfectly as you can get it. Make very sure that the weights are securely attached, these wheels are really moving fast and a couple of grams at that speed will do serious damage. See Jason's post above.
Then everything is great and hopefully your team-mates will have developed the world's best climber while you were working on the shooter. That part didn't work out that way for us, but a guy can dream.
