Awesome tool to dial in your car like a pro. I am a new racer at my local track. I saw a A main driver dialing in with this tool and i had to get it. I was getting frustrating not being certain about my camber and caster but this tool dialed me right in. I am so dialed in i am starting to record my settings trying to get my lap time down.
This system will show you how incorrect and/or inefficient your other methods of measuring were. Got all my cars adjusted and it's very noticeable how much better they drive with everything properly aligned. Toe was the big measurement I couldn't get right without using something like this. Bolt the Hudy stuff on the hubs and push the body down to where your ride height normally is and adjust away.
I can not believe how much my Toe was off. I order the extra upside plate for my SCT. I wished the box had space to add your droop gauge, ride height, etc. I have to order the 1/8 bag to fit the two plates and all the other things I have. No big deal just an added expense. I would repurchase it if I did not have it—huge help setting up your car. The included book (you can download it free) Is a huge eye-opener.
Looks to be very well made but will not work with my tekno sct. I had to order more parts to use it even though it states that it is for 1/10 offroad. Kinda wish I knew this ahead of time. Seems really expensive to have to purchase add- ons. The included wheel nuts also don’t fit. If you have a tekno sct this is not the setup station to buy.
Best money could buy was debating on buying for my drag cars. I used one in Tulsa for superchips that day i ordered my own best money spent by far
Reviewers generally rate the Hudy Exclusive Set-Up Station highly for dialing in camber, caster and toe, with several noting clearly better handling after alignment and praising the included instruction book. Some buyers found it helpful for drag and 1/10 off-road setups. Recurring complaints concern compatibility: one reviewer with a Tekno SCT found it did not fit and needed extra parts, and another said the included wheel nuts did not fit. Reviewers also mention needing add-on plates and a bag of hardware for their cars, which added expense. One reviewer felt it was unsuitable for a low-ride, high center-of-gravity mud chassis. Overall sentiment is positive, though fit with some chassis types is a point of disagreement.
