Xbility 1:28 Setup Station

New 1:28 manufacturer Xbility, who launched their One 1:28 Chassis Kit during the Summer, and reigning PNWC World Champion José Pequito have announced their brand new design Xbility Setup Station.  A completely new approach to car setup, it was engineered from the ground up to deliver unmatched precision and repeatability.  It allows full measurement and adjustment of camber, toe, steering angle, droop, ride height, tweak, and front track width, every parameter that defines how a car behaves on track.  Because 1:28 cars are small and light, taking accurate measurements has always been a challenge. Traditional setup tables allow the car to move or shift during adjustment, making precise readings very difficult.  The Xbility Setup Station solves this problem with a guided chassis system that keeps the car perfectly aligned and stable throughout the entire process.  The full kit comes complete with all the necessary tools including ride height and droop gauges, camber gauge, toe and steering angle, tweak, wheel simulators, and a perfectly flat setup board. Everything you need is included, ready to use straight out of the box.
