HB Racing off-road ride height gauge

HB Racing have introduced their new off-road ride height gauge for 1/10th and 1/8th vehicles. The design offers two modes for measuring, the standard setting uses a thumbscrew to lock the ride height setting of the gauge, allowing racers adjust the ride height until it matches the desired value. The Active Measurement Mode uses the precise weight balance of the measurement arm so that racers can loosen the thumb screw and slide the tool under the car. The measurement arm pivots on dual ball bearings, and it will touch the bottom of the chassis and show the ride height in real time as it is moved under the car. The tool is machined from aluminium and it comes with a hard anodised surface for durability. The height markings are laser- etched for quick and easy adjustment and the measurement arm can be unscrewed for compact storage.

Hudy ball joint wrench

Coming from Hudy is their new ball joint wrench that will ease and speed up camber and steering link building. The small and lightweight tool offers two slots of 10x4mm and 9x5mm respectively, one on the left side and one on the right side, that hold open-design ball cups while inserting the turnbuckle. As the tool does away with the need to use pliers or fingers it ensures both the ball cups and fingers stay free from harm.
