Good board, light weight as well. This is not an issue with the board, but if you have the ProTek hauler bag, it is a very tight fit.
I was torn between this board and a similar version from Hudy. Needless to say, I purchased this one for two reasons, overall weight and price. I run a 1/10 Yokomo YD2 drifter so it's more than enough space for my needs. I do recommend pairing it with a pit mat/yoga mat for added stability. I found with my YD2 centered on the board, it has a tendency to move around a little during setup. The addition of the yoga mat solved this issue plus it limited runaway screws and spacers.
this board is NOT flat. if i check camber with a camber guage (not setup station) the camber differs by 1-2 degrees depending on which side of the board you use. the measurements were extremely consistent as i checked chamber many, many times just to make sure. one side of the board is like ) while the other side is shaped like (. this is also very obvious when you use a strait edge on each side. every thing i notice about the warp in the board agrees with each other. also, the surface of the board is texured. not sure how that can possibly make for a good setupboard when a setup station has to slide across it (when checking camber or toe as you compress the suspension to get it to settle to ride height. 2 stars is generous.
Reviewers agree the board is light and reasonably priced, and one notes it offers enough space for a 1/10 drifter. Two verified owners rated it 5/5, citing weight and price, and recommending a pit mat or yoga mat to stop the car shifting and to limit lost screws and spacers. A third verified owner rated it 2/5, reporting that the board is not flat: camber readings differed by 1-2 degrees depending on which side was used, and a straight edge confirmed the warp. This reviewer also found the textured surface unsuitable for sliding a setup station. The review set is small, and the flatness complaint conflicts with the positive reviews.
