You will need a droop gauge.
Instead of using the blocks just get something the same heigth as the drrop gauge to place on the opposite side you are measuring.
In a pinch I once used a couple of stacks of quarters.
You just need something so the car is elevated and level.

Here are some pics of Factory Driver Dave J's all black '05. They are a little grainy, but the car looks killer in person.

You can use those same droop gauges from the tc3 ...the "elevate" the car and start the larkings "at 0".

using the AE guage and something the same size, I used a piece of wood.

Put the AE guage under one end, and the wood under the other end to raise the car. Then read the gauge. Swap the wood and the gauge to the opposite ends and do the same for that end of the car.

OK Thanks Guys. One more question. I know this was talked about already. I cant find it. I need thrust bearings tomorrow for a race. I am going to order the axiom ones but need to find ones fast. I think someone said that losi made ones that fit. Is this true?

The Axiom ones I believe are built to the same size etc as the Losi's and also I think the Corrally thrust assembly fits as well.
