JConcepts Droop Gauge & Blocks
JConcepts has released a new Droop Gauge & Droop Blocks for both 1:8 & 1:10 use. With droop one of the most important adjustments on an RC vehicle, JConcepts set out to create a versatile yet accurate system to add to their lineup. Spencer Rivkin was heavily involved in this project, pushing the idea as a necessary accessory from the JC team. Going back to his days working with mentor Brian Kinwald, Spencer was taught to adjust droop by measuring the axle height relative to the bottom of the chassis. The blocks are built at 36mm in height for 1:8 Offroad racing, and 30mm is available by rotating the block 90 degrees for 1:10 racing. The all-aluminium machined blocks are both tall and lightweight, designed to fit into the larger compartments of a racer’s toolbox. The black anodised item is highlighted with an attached blue anodised piece, laser-etched and marked for height convenience. The blocks are ineffective without a proper measuring device, and the JConcepts droop gauge is labeled in multiple ways to suit the scale of the offroad vehicle.
