I have the integy as well it works good once you fiqure out how to use it. Comes with no intructions. Went to the hudy site to get some general tips. Iam no pro but it sure makes it easy to set up after you make a change.

When you get the board and start setting up you car. let us know how it goes. was thinking about the board but i was wondering if the set up station would slide around. i have only found two set up boards that work for bug/trug 455x570 hudy and the one your getting.

Why can't you measure your car at ride height from the center of the hub to the ground then measure the set up station the same way and adjust from their? For instance to get a 28mm ride height with your racing tires on you measure from the center of the hub to your setup board and get 29mm and the setup station pieces that bolt to the hub are 49mm from the center of the hub to the setup board. Can't you just put the car on the station and measure from the setup board to the chassis to make a "ride height" of 48mm so when you take it off the station and put wheels on it's set correctly? This would take some time at first but once you know the height difference you're golden in my thoughts anyway. Then you get to the track throw the car on the station set everything take it off slap wheels on and go, instead of put your wheels on measure, adjust, measure, adjust, pull wheels off, put the setup station on adjust everything else then take it off then put the wheels back on. Sounds like it'd save time doing it my way if it will work. Thoughts?

Just got their offroad setup station for my 1/8 and believe it or not, the integy one is of much better quality than hudy. I compared it at the track, the guy pit next to me had the hudy and full set of tools. That he said he spent over $400 for all his hudy tools, the finishing on hudy is a bit rough and he didn't use it that much, the plexiglass top ruler chipped easily and had a lot of scratched marks. Integy Rules!

from experience both setup stations are useless on setting up an off road car. with the numerous different tire wheel and foam combo your ride will continue to have different axle heights. yet when you put your buggy or truggy in station the axle bolts are always the same on the 4 corners. so unless what ever tire rim combo you are using is an identical match in wheel nut height you will never be accurate. save your money and get a camber gauge and ride height tool,,,and eyeball your toe settings. those stations work in onroad where the guys cut their tires the same all the time and precision is a must. in off road its not as critical as wasting your money for the setup station. thats my experience and my .02

this hobby is expensive enough use your money for better spending

and if you think I'm telling tall tales next give you go to an off road event with pro drivers look around. you won't see a setup station anywhere,,,,just ride height and camber gauges

I´ve got the Integy Set-up station and love it. Its nothing to do at the track but i use it every time i rebuild my Moogen Truggy at home before a big race.

I've got it. Picked it up unused from ebay with all the optional adapters for $60 shipped. I wouldn't use it at the track, I just use the Losi camber and ride height gauges there. But I do use it at home to check different measurements. I'll also use it when I do some on-road racing. Man for $60 to my door I'm not complaining. It's all aluminium and came with a nice storage bag. No instructions though, but if you're cluey it's not hard to get it all up and working.

Just one question, is there anything cheap and cheerful for measuring toe like the Losi ride height and camber gauges?
