Revolution Design Ultra Flyheight Tool

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the Ultra Flyheight Tool for 1/8th off-road vehicles. Made from aircraft-quality 7075-T6 aluminium the tool incorporates a flywheel tool, a clutch gap gauge and a ride height gauge. The shape of the tool allows to securely fasten 3-pin and 4-pin flywheels while fastening the clutch nut and therefore it is the ideal combination with the RDRP Ultra Flywheel Puller. Once the flywheel and the clutch bell are fitted the axial play can be measured and adjusted using the clutch gap gauge. A stepped slot measures the axial clutch bell play between 0.3mm and 0.9mm in 0.1mm increments. On top of that helps to measure the chassis ride height in a range of 20mm up to 40mm by simply placing the tool underneath the chassis plate. 1mm increments make for a precise adjustment while the black anodising and white laser-etched markings give the tool a factory look.
