Arrowmax 4D setup system

Arrowmax is proud to present their all-new 4D setup system. Having the best and precise setup is one of the most important factors in winning races and setup systems allow you to comfortably measure and adjust camber, caster, toe-in/out, track width and steering throw symmetry. In the past year there has been a trend in touring car to move towards using the pivot ball system. With that in mind Arrowmax decided to innovate a completely new system to allow users to measure and adjust the caster angle comfortably. Another key element added is for users to measure the track width using the 4D setup system. The built-in ruler allows users 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.
