Excelerate RC Prodigy Digital Camber Gauge Set

New from Excelerate RC brand Prodigy is this Digital Camber Gauge Set. With Josh Cyrul using a test version the recent U.S. Indoor Champs, the Wisconsin has now officially released the final version which it says is simply the fastest, easiest and most precise tool to set the camber on your Prodigy or other brand of car. To use simply remove the front springs (steering blocks optional) and set the car on a flat surface or on set-up blocks. Zero the digital inclinometers on the flat surface and slide them onto the kingpins. It is suggested to use a straight edge to keep them parallel to each other across the car. Leaving the kingpin M3 x 6’s just finger tight in the kingpins, use a Multi-Tool to adjust the kingpin rotation to dial in the camber – always make sure to re-square the Camber Gauges with a straight edge after each adjustment. When your camber is perfect to the desired setting, tighten the kingpin screw and you are ready to race.
