Powerhobby 1:10 Touring Car Droop Gauge & Wheel Set

A simplified, universal approach to checking droop across any brand of chassis

Droop refers to the suspension setting where the wheels begin to lift off the driving surface. Adjusting droop can significantly influence a vehicle’s handling characteristics. The most precise way to measure it is from the chassis underside to the axle center, as this removes inconsistencies caused by suspension geometry. This method also makes it possible to compare droop settings between different car models without worrying about variations in design.

How to use the system:

1. Fit the droop wheels onto one set of axles.

2. Position the chassis on the included 10 mm droop blocks.

3. Place the droop gauge under the droop wheel and take a reading at its lowest point. This measurement equals the distance from the underside of the chassis to the axle centerline.

4. Repeat for the opposite axle pair.

Storage tip:
To keep everything secure during transport, thread the M4 grub screw through the sides of the droop gauge until it extends evenly on both ends. Lock it in place from the bottom using the M3 grub screw. Attach the droop wheels to the M4 screw for compact storage.
