DE Racing Setup System complete kit

The DE Racing Setup System complete kit is now available for most popular 1/8 and 1/10 platforms. The designs is meant to offer more accurate results than standard setup systems. With the setup wheels installed the vehicle is dropped from about 15cm onto a smooth flat surface, then rolled a few centimetre forward, and the results can be checked. This process uses the geometry of the car against the rubber tyre to lock the wheels into a proper position for checking camber and toe. The rubber-shoed disc wheels come including suitable adapters and they are available for 1/8th buggies and trucks with 17mm hex as well as popular 1/10th buggies and trucks.
