HUDY 1:10 Setup Stations

[kevsta]

Hi,

Does anyone use these to setup their 1:10 tourers ? Just wondering how effective they are and if they are worth the money. I ve seen a few of them being put up for sale.

I just use a cheap $5 jaycar vernier caliper to do my measurements but don t know if I can achieve more with a setup station.

not needed for your car kev. more for cars with pivit ball suspension. all you need is a camber guage. $10 part.

Thanks mini-g. I just picked the last one up from Hobbyco for $16.

Hudy brought out a new Setup Station last xmas, so
some original owners are upgrading.

How do you use your verniers?

You can measure all the arms’ length etc etc, but due to
manufacturing tolerances & running damages & wear-n-tear
the actual settings at the wheels will differ.

A setup station allows you to dial in your car to the exact
settings at the wheels… its like a wheel alignment.

It lets you record a baseline chassis setting before you
start tweaking, and once you’ve found a sweet setup you
can ‘record’ it and copy it to another identical car.

Yeah all I do is measure the arms to make sure that they are exact lengths as well as the threaded shocks/springs thingy. Then also check the droop at every corner and make sure there is no tweak.. that’s about it.

if i was even mildly into racing i think it would be a worthy investment. this is one area where i’d like to remove the guesswork. even if one of you guys gets one you can lend it out, probably only takes half an hour tops to get everything dialed in with those:8ball:

yeah.. there sweet investment people say slower divisions it dont matter but srsly a dialed car in 540 pro kicks ass
