Xenon EP Buggy ride height gauge

Japanese company Xenon, who are present at the World Championship in Thailand, showed us one of their new products designed for the electric buggy market. The clever ride height gauge has been machined from a piece of black anodised aluminium, with a hole down the centre to reduce height. It works in a similar fashion to their innovative ride height guage in that rotating the tool gives it different heights to measure. Simple and effective, it can measure ride heights from 21mm to 28mm.
