SETUP System

[carlin]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone wondered why no one has brought out setup gauges for 1/10th buggies?

Well i've found someone who does & i'm going to order one.
They said they will fit the CAT SX as well as other cars.

Here is the link if anyone is interested

Angle setups arn't anywhere near as important than in Touring car. The only car i would buy one for is a Predator as the rear has adjustable toe-in, although i user to just take off the wing and use a camber guage :lol:

I bought one for my X-5, and have adapted it to fit the SX. Its the clear plastic one I use, and I use it approx once per month just to double check the setups.

It is overkill for off-road, set-up by eye I find just as accurate. I can prove this by putting the gauges on then thinking "Why have I wasted 10 minutes doing this, as they're all bang on already".

I've used one and I'm tempted to get one purely for setting the toe in. The only problem I found was that the markings are quite difficult to see.

Im interested, what's wrong with it?
The only alu one I know of is the hudy one for 1/10 touring cars, and it's about quadruple the price of that plastic one.
I borrowed one of the hudy set up kits from a touring car guy, and put the Cat SX on it. It seems to fit, but I'm not sure about the accuracy of the measurements because it's designed around the ride height of a touring car, not an offroad car. Maybe that doesn't matter though?
