Pan car fans,
I wanted to make another introduction of my new caster gauge. I debuted these at IIC. They went over so well, I had to give up my personal gauges before I went home! Racers really liked the idea. It's simple really, take your tire, e-clip and spring off. Slip the king pin into the hole in the barrel. Set your car on the set up board. Read the needle. Compare to the other side.
I find so far that if you are within a degree, it's close enough. But if you are 2 degrees different, you may want to make a correction. Try some thinner shims instead of those big meaty thick ones.
Ever get a car that's awesome one direction, hooks the other, but tweaks out flat? Camber is an obvious "look", but dig deeper, what about caster? This is a quick easy way to look at your front end without taking a bunch of items apart. This gauge reads what angle the king pin is sitting at.
There are two holes on the clear A Frame; low and high, for 12th scale and WGT/F-1. The gauge is available in 1/8 inch or 3mm based on what you own, and in single or in pairs. My latest batch just arrived. You can check with my suppliers or order direct.
