Losi Stand & Gauges

Losi has released three essential new pieces of pit equipment which should hit the shops in late November/early December. The new car stand is designed to work with the 8IGHT and 8IGHT-T. The snap-together design makes it ideal for easy transport, and it will easily fit in your tool or pit box. The stand’s non-slip design securely holds the chassis while you work, and the built-in shock holders prevent shock from rolling around during fluid changes.The Ride Height Gauge works with all 1/10th and 1/8th scale cars and its rugged construction ensures the gauge is durable, while clear markings make the gauge easy to read and use. The third release from Losi is an easy to use Camber Gauge which is a key tuning device for novice and expert racers.
