The only issue I can see is if folks post setups and have a different brand of gauge. The PowerHobby and T-Works gauge comes with 18.50mm wheels that thread on. Buddy of mine has the Aerox gauge and he said his wheels measure 18.00mm so when comparing settings they are 0.25mm off from one another.
All of those droop gauges measure to the axle centerline, so even though the wheel size is different the value is still represented from the bottom of the chassis to the centerline.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how i was told it all worked.)
