DE Racing 1/10 Offroad Setup System
About this part
This is the DE Racing 1/10 Offroad Setup System Kit. This kit is compatible with a variety of vehicles. Click the compatibility tab for a list of models this can be used with. The DE Racing setup system is an all in one kit. The wheels feature a smooth flat vertical surface for interface with your existing measurement tools, and are set to the ride height for your specific model. Though some of these "basic" features are unique unto themselves, the final feature is what creates the benchmark in chassis setup; DE Racing calls this "roll to set".
Designed as the foundation of this system, "roll to set" describes the proper use of the setup wheels and is what truly makes this system different. Drop the car from about six inches onto a smooth flat surface, roll the car a few inches forward, and check the results. This process uses the geometry of the car against the grip of the rubber tire to lock the wheels into a proper position for checking camber and toe. It sounds simple, but without this process measuring wheel alignment can only be close at best on a car in perfect condition. Add more wear and it only gets worse.
DE Racing's setup system is the only product on the market that allows you to achieve the same setup time after time, regardless of how much wear the car has. The result is tuning consistency and accuracy that could never be achieved before. The DE Racing system is going to redefine precision R/C car chassis setup, at a price point that makes "luxury" a thing of the past.

- Convenient all in one kit with reduced price
- Smooth flat face to accurately set camber and toe
- Wheel diameters match those of tires for setting ride height

These work great, its amazing how far off your measurements can be using wheels with tires on them. These are the best option short of a setup stand that cost nearly 10x as much. I'm not sure what a previous poster was talking about when they said these dont match 1/10 buggy tires for measuring ride-height, these are an exact match for Proline Blockade 2.2" buggy wheels.
These are great for camber and toe setup, and setting steering endpoints. Not quite a setup stand, but better than using bare new wheels or your track wheels. Not ideal for adjusting ride height... at least not with 1:10 buggies (but maybe OK with trucks?), but I don't think that's much of a negative, so I give them 5 stars.
High quality build and materials. 3 stars because the diameter of the axle hole on the adapters was too small (~4.8mm) and I had to drill them out to fit the ~5.0mm shafts on my Mugen MSB1. I measured a set of Schumacher wheels as a sanity check, and those had a ~4.92mm hole.
I set up a new build "eyeing" it, then with these. These made it much easier to get it even on both sides, and I think is particularly useful if you're trying to keep toe in/out, camber, etc. to very small amounts.
Four verified owners rated this 1/10 offroad setup system between 3 and 5 stars. Reviewers agree it is well built and useful for camber, toe, and steering endpoint setup, offering a much more accurate result than bare wheels or track wheels, though it is not a full setup stand. Opinions differ on ride height: one reviewer found it not ideal for 1/10 buggies, while another said it matched Proline Blockade 2.2 buggy wheels exactly. One reviewer reported that the axle holes on the adapters were about 4.8mm, too small for 5.0mm shafts on a Mugen MSB1, requiring drilling; they noted a set of Schumacher wheels measured about 4.92mm.
