Muchmore Tweak Master

Muchmore introduce the Tweak Master tool for easy and accurate chassis “de-tweaking”. The tool compromises of a thick tweak plate and a carbon fibre rod and comes in a handy bag for easy storage and transportation. To un-tweak the chassis simply place it on the tweak plate, loosen the top deck screws, press the chassis down by pushing the carbon rod against the shock towers and tighten the top deck screws again. The tool is meant to work with nearly all of today’s 1/10th electric touring car chassis.
