Tamiya 53862 OP-862 Height & Droop Setup Gauge for Touring Cars  [53862]

Overview of height and droop measurements

This R/C-scale setup gauge assists model drivers in measuring ride height and suspension droop so rebound numbers can be derived from consistent records. Designed for use on standard touring car chassis, it provides a simple method to compare corners without disturbing the car's reference setup.

Place the gauge beneath the chassis at the wheel points to read ground clearance, then lift the wheel to capture an unloaded droop measurement while following your usual setup routine. The collected figures are intended to inform spring and damper choices, ride height changes, and rebound adjustments rather than replace track testing.

The product is specified for standard touring car chassis and is not meant for non-R/C vehicles or incompatible chassis formats. Use the gauge alongside your setup notes and lap feedback for best results.
