Good value setup station
Whats a good value 1:10th touring car setup station? Alot of people say Hudy are the best.. i'm sure they are right. I would like to know of the less expensive brands what are people using and finding good.
Cheers,
Ben.

If youre not looking to spend a ton Hudy does sell 4 stands with the clear toe-in gauge by themselves. It's a lot smaller than the "briefcase" model (comes in a roughly 3x3x18 " box ) and still has what you'll need. I had the briefcase model and never used the tweak station. And the rest of the small bits in the case fit in a pretty small space and can be bought seperately. Just my perspective. I had the 1st gen integy station and found it unreliable for me.

I have the Team Magic one.... it is OK, I think pretty similar in quality to the HUDY one....

I'll stick my oar in as I always do in these kind of threads.
"Setup stations" are a waste of time. When do you ever race your car with 5mm acrylic squares instead of tyres?
Best setup system is a flat board (Hudy sell their own boards seperately, I got the 1/10th version for £12.99 UK), a camber gauge (RPM is reliable and easy to use) and a ride height gauge (I use a 3racing one, you can also use it to measure droop if you place the chassis flat on the board without tyres).
Put the wheels you will be using on the car (assuming they are not distorted), set your ride height first, then your droop, tweak, cambers etc, recheck and you are good to go. Total expense under £30 UK. And probably a better setup car than any setup station would give you.

I recently heard of this brand of setup station:

Personally, I use a ride height gage, 1deg and 2deg paper triangles that I printed from AutoCAD, and a digital inclinometer for front toe.

I do agree with andrewdoherty and Big B. I picked up the Hudy all in one and I don't use most of it. If I had to do it over I would get just the Hudy setup gauges, the Integy setup board with tweak gauge, Hudy balancing tools, and a ride height gauge.
All you need is this...

And a decent ride height gauge.

the integy one has bearings, but it has too much slop imo. other than the hudy, the team magic one is a good value

ive heard integy or even a hudy setup station are inaccurate and is a waste of money, dont know why they say so.have anyone encountered this?
