Uhm, I guess it's something more suited for high grip then

Are there aftermarket plates to mount digital caster gauges available?
Preferably milled from Carbon or Aluminium?

I haven't seen any yet. I must say, though, that if you have a setup system, the ones Mugen sells works quite good.

Someone from MTC3 facebook group designed a 3D printed adapter plate

The analog caster tools are indeed quite good, but i want to use my digital one :D​​​​​​​

Thank you for the link. I printed these already and it works, but i want something more "square" than parts from my 3D printer :lol: It just feels not that solid when using these.

Also depending on your gauge’s the caster doodles may not align with the markings. Before you keyboard warriors try to assassinate me , I’ve seen it first hand.

To be honest, 3D printing is nice but not if you use simple printing materials. With a sheet of carbon, glass fiber or aluminium and a dremel it is easy to make that will be more solid.

Well, for one Mugen caster pointers don't work with Arrowmax setups, they were designed for Hudy and clones (Skyrc, Yeah racing etc.) Source: I own an Arromax setup

Easy way to check caster :)

Yeah, i think it was a few years ago, where Max Mächler released stickers to fix the wrong caster etchings on nearly all available setup systems. Not only SkyRC, GForce etc. were affected. Also Hudy made in that time a running change to fix it. Besides that digital gauges, if the Display isn't crap, are easier to read most of the times and avoids the parallax errorhttps://www.rc-kleinkram.de/media/im...8-10-small.jpg
Before i bought my hudy setup system, i had a SkyRC one. And i couldn't get my Car to drive straight for the life of me. Turns out each of the 4 corners of the setup-system was setting different Camber, Toe and Caster angles, but showing the correct ones. Only after a buddy controlled my setup with his setup-station, right after i was done with setup work, he asked if i was drunk while working on my car because every corner showed different values.
Most likely a isolated case, but i was about to loose my mind :lol:

markings aren’t off. The Arrowmax as stated is just completely incompatible with the caster gauges.

even with the lowest adjustable settings the Arrowmax gauges cant be used. One of our locals is making a 3D printed version for the Arrowmax owners.

I know, that the mugen caster tool is not compatible with some setup stations eg. Arrowmax.

It was just to support your statement, that sometimes the caster scale does not show the real caster. And maybe someone gets the information who wasn't aware of the issue with older setup stations.

30 degrees of caster. That's impressive.
