Apex RC Tweak Eliminator System

Apex RC have introduced their new Tweak Eliminator System for 1/10th electric touring cars. The tool’s foundation is a 3/8″ thick piece of glass, precision ground to be perfectly flat. The tweak bar has been designed to fit most modern touring car platforms and features holes for large spur gears, centre top deck screw and the front chassis brace screws. Simply loosen the top deck screws, place the car on the tweak plate, and press down on the shock towers with the tweak bar to flatten the car out. While holding the car down, tighten the top deck screws for a perfectly flat chassis assembly. The set includes the tweak plate, four cushions for the plate, tweak bar, and a padded protective case.
