Must have on road tools?
 
What are the must have on road tools setup wise for on road? Besides your typical camber / ride height gauges (already have from 2wd stock buggy racing). Just got my first Touring Car kit and looking to be prepared before assembling it, although i could be over thinking it haha. I will running on black carpet indoor tracks. :batman:

Do you have calipers? You'll really need them to get assembled with any precision. Most of the stock setups just tell you to make turnbuckles X mm.

For setup-
You didn't say you have a droop gauge. Camber and ride height may or may not work across cars, depending on which you have. There is more stuff depending on how serious/repeatable you need to be.

I do have a caliper i plan on using during assembly / setup. My camber / ride height tools should work for on road, but i do not have and droop gauges or blocks.. Any recommendations? Thank you for the info!

Nowadays, even the stuff from Hobbyking / Trackstar and such is just fine for starting out. No need to go overboard. There are also many deals to be had here on Rctech. Same goes for setup wheels and such.

For droop you can even get away with no blocks and just buy a ride height gauge that starts as low as 1mm

Arrowmax/yokomo and other brands make a nice double sided gauge in .1mm increments
