I should probably clarify my comments re: tyre wear above. Before i used the Integy kit I didn't use a camber guage or anything like that. When I first put my car on the guages the cambers were way out of whack, and I was running a lot more caber than is recommended. Once I fixed that problem tyre wear decreased, and over time the guages have paid for themselves through reduced wear. If I'd been using a standalong camber guage before I got the Integy kit I mayn not have noticed quite such a dramatic difference.

camber is camber, if you measure it with a 2.50 rpm guage or a 400 dollar hudy system...

i bought the 1/10 all in one hudy, around june just before the winter champs and i'm very happy with it. just for having everything in one box makes it easier as it keeps it together and you know where everything is for easy access and it packs well when travelling away racing.

wouldnt matter if you bought the hudy or integy, buy which ever one you think best meets your needs or requirements or which ever unit offers you the most for what you can afford

I agree Bradd, but thats what most of us do with EP cars, where as GP use alot more features for set-up like pivot balls ect.

Model Flight in Adelaide has the Integy for $130 and as far as I know no one has the Hudy in store but anyone can get it in for $500.

I bought a 10 8250 months ago straight straight from Darren Campbell of Custom Model Cars Penshurst it only came in a cardboard box, not the new one that comes in a alluminium carry case if my memory serves me right ( apart from the Altimers )at the time it was on special for around $300.

I just checked there sight and they now sell it for $404.80.

Good luck in your decision. By the way a metal tool box from Bunnings about $25 then visit Clark rubber nice carrying case for setup boards and radio's.
