One of the most critical adjustments on 1/8 Buggies and Truggies is droop. After doing months of research with all the available tools on the market Klinik RC feel there was a better way. Some were almost 1mm off from advertised measurements, inconsistent and frankly poor quality. They wanted a system that is precise, consistent, super simple, small and lightweight for hauling. Measuring shock length only goes so far. The inconsistencies possible in hubs, arms, links, left to right and front to back is incredible. Tighten up your race program with Klinik RC’s universal pro droop system. This set works on both Buggy and Truggy and no other pieces need to be purchased. Machined from premium 3mm carbon fibre, weighs close to nothing and fits in the palm of your hand. The system comes with a super handy pouch to store components when not in use. “0” on the gauge indicates the centre of the axle is set to the bottom of the chassis, “+” indicates droop above the chassis, while “-” indicates droop below the chassis. Very simple.

Arrowmax’s all-new 4D setup system will be available for the 8th scale on-road classes. The Set-Up System allows you to measure and adjust camber, caster, toe-in/out, track width and steering angle symmetry with high precision. It is a hassle when racers have to remove the rear end of their body post in order to check the toe-in of their 8th scale on-road cars. With that in mind, we have decided to innovate a completely new system and design to allow users to enjoy a smoother operation throughout their setup process. Another key element they have added is for users to measure the track width using the 4D setup system. The built-in ruler allows user to check the distance between the hexes, resulting in a much better understanding of their car setup. The reading of toe-in/out are now measured on the laser-engraved 7075 CNC body without the long and bulky acrylic plate. Giving a much precise measurement. The whole system is very small, light, and are designed with a purpose to improve the quality of life. Storage and transportation becomes less of a hassle.
