| Post subject: | Question on Hudy set-up station |
I just bought a Hudy setup station (Complete Set of Set-up Tools + Carrying Bag - For 1/10 Touring Cars part no.108256) and I can't figure out what is the reason the alu wheels have been included. On the website it is stated that they are used when measuring/adjusting tweak. But with the professional tweak station included, the wheels are not used for measuring/adjusting tweak. Any ideas? |

So far I can see the wheels are not included in the complete setup system. Or I am wrong..... The wheels can be used with simple tools like a camber gauge and 4 weight scales which is sometimes easier/faster to use in between 2 heats of finals just to check if the car is still OK. |

just as his part number says they have the full monty kit quick way to check tweek, some also set ride hieght with them and then set there geometry When checking tweak on a rubber-tired touring car, using standard rubber tires typically gives non-precise and non-repeatable measurements. Rubber tires are never perfectly rounded, so when checking tweak one tire can lift earlier than another but this does not always indicate a tweaked car. Tire roundness and insert weight is different from one tire to the next. (click to enlarge) When checking tweak on a foam-tired touring car, the differences between tires are even greater than with rubber tires. Each foam tire has a different diameter after each run due to tire wear, making it impossible to check for tweak because the tires can give very misleading results. In this case the alu set-up wheels are the best tool for checking tweak. (click to enlarge) |
