Setup plates.

Not perfect yet but still working on the design.

Forgive my ignorance, but why would these be useful? I think I know what your going to say, but not sure.

Measureing camber

RPM sells a camber gauge. These would be used to check toe. I have a alloy set for my F1. You need to design a gauge to measure the changes though.

Yeah thats a good idea

Interested if you want to make me a set?

I think Axis RC do them, I saw something similar on Detroit Performance.

Edit: calipers to get each side equal and a note pad works for me.. only had to use the micrometer for building. Unless I notice tire wear I let it ride

My fool proof method????

I just use vernier callipers a square and my eyes.

Works best on buggies but if you rest/push the tires against a wall you can use a camber gauge (bottom/base on wall) to measure the degrees in or out. The plates are for vehicles where this can't be accomplished.

These are the FG plates

ummmmm to measure Camber compare top to bottom divide by 2 = camber , Toe is front to back same thing , castor is another setup same with Ackermann , on Karts and my race cars we ran 1/8" to out , camber was set by tire temps across the tire and was set by the track we ran. FYI not sure if has anything to do with little cars LOL ???

When i was racing shifter karts, front end geometry setup is critical. I machined precision discs that bolted to the wheel hubs and used and angle guage.

Yep setup is everything when racing ! I used a digital angle gauge but analog is cool to LOL

Actually I was thinking about making a digital angle holder for 24mm hexes. I finished these however I think I'll work on making it better.
