Set up station for 1/12th? Hudy, or are there other manufacturers?

There are a couple others out there. I know HobbyKing makes one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...up_System.html

But, honestly, I've always used Hudy. Their stuff is just so well made I think the price is justified.

Crush tubes for the front wheels/bearings? Worth the trouble? Available anywhere?


The Kyosho setup station is really nice.

What wheels do you use that don't use flanged bearings? Gravity?

Not worth it. It's very (very!) difficult to get them to work when the wheels have different lengths on the housings where the axles go.

To make it work, you have to shim each crush tube individually for each wheel you use which is time consuming. I've never seen them anywhere because it is too hard to make them work as they should.

Not needed at all. Unless you tighten the wheel nuts to the point that the wheel won't spin. Then you would also need wheel nuts that only contact the inner race.

I recently bought this setup station and it's great! If you're considering purchasing it then I would suggest you watch this video.

Can anyone point me to an online shop where I can buy 1/12 Jaco double pink rear foam tires?

Thanks in advance.

You'll have to Goolge to find out where you can buy it.

You can try... Futaba Pro Shop Futaba Sangyo
