Default Integy Set-Up Station Question.

I was thinking about buying this one.http://www.speedtechrc.com/store/ebp...id=384&id=5315

I just really don't feel like springing for the Hudy one.

It will be using it for a Xray FK'05 and T2.

Do I need to order anything extra with this set-up station in order to accomidate my 2 cars? I think I heard somewhere someone say something about using metric Screws.

Is this unit any good?

this unit works just fine... if you get it straight from integy you can choose standard or metric thumbscrews for the axles... only thing i suggest is getting a second full set of setup wheels for use with a tweak station if you use one...

you need the metric wheel adaptors [nuts], as it comes with SAE ones for TC4, losi, etc.

You will also need a right height gauge and a droop gauge. I got Hudy ones plus the balance tool. One thing though, the setup wheels that Integy sells separately are smaller in diameter.

I have this set and I find the camber settings a pain to see when at the track.
Because they use gravity to get the 'weighted' pointer to hang down indicating the camber, the marks for the camber are too close together to be read easily, so I find myself using the camber readings at home and an RPM guage at the track.

Everything else about the set is fine.

judging from the website it appears there is no choice of std or metric, and the description doesnt say which it comes with... i would email integy and ask about this before purchasing...

if it comes with std, integy sells metric thumbscrew sets for $9.95...

Dito on the metric nuts. I just ordered Mine thru My LHS. I found that using the T2 wheel nuts that I also Hafta have a wrench to hold the hub so that I could git it tite/snug.

Is there a way to tell what nuts you have by looking at them? I just bought one used and they don't seem to fit my t2 or tc4.... They just go on a little bit and stop.

I have this exact setup system (same colour and all). As already stated, the silver nuts it comes with are for SAE threads. I also have a T2 and bought the metric (4mm) nuts. These are coloured black.

I don't want to bad mouth any brand but I have used the Integy one and I have the Hudy.


Lets just say you DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR....
Hudy uses ball bearings to make sure the slides stay level and keep the real camber readings correct. The integy deosn't.
Hudy is easy to read and well looks just plain DIALED...
If you can save for the HUDY do so....
I got the cheaper Hudy setup system as I have the IRP tweak plate for my T2 so I don't need the tweak station..And I already had a setup board...So it really wasn't that expencive...But if I didn't I wouldn't give it a second thought to get the Ubber dialed all in one...

Default INTEGY SETUP STATION

HRCRACER, I have this station and this is what I've experienced. It is practically impossible trying to setup a car outdoors unless of course there it no wind whatsoever. The pendelums are very sensitive to movement so a slight breeze can throw off the pendelums. Because the pendelums are so sensitive they are very accurate, for the money this is a great setup station. Also, you might want to store and or carry the pendelums disconnected from the pieces they connect to so they dont get damaged.
