Team Powers have announced the soon release of an updated version of their multi-functional car stand. The Version 2 car stand again includes a range of handy setup tools such as chassis support blocks, a droop gauge, camber gauge and turnbuckle wrench that can all be stored within the car stand, but the tool also allows to measure and inspect BRCA and ISTC wing dimensions as well as 115mm ISTC body height. Four strategically placed holes on the top of the stand provide space for shocks placement during setup and maintenance as well as two holes to store gear differentials during rebuilds. The ride height gauge offers a 3.8mm to 7.5mm range in 0.2mm increments, the droop gauge allows to measure 4mm to 6.5mm droop settings in 0.5mm increments, the camber gauge has a 1.5 degree to 3 degree range and the turnbuckle tool is usable with 3mm and 4mm turnbuckles. The car stand weighs in at about 351g in total and it will become available very soon.
Coming from Arrowmax is their new-generation chassis balancing tool. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium the tool allows to check and adjust left-to-right chassis balance by placing the race-ready chassis on top of the pins using the small dimples or holes found in the front and rear of most competition chassis. An imbalanced chassis will be visible by hanging to one side with optional balance weights allowing to bring the chassis in balance again. Adjusting the chassis balance will make for a more predictable car and the tool is usable with most of today’s on-road and off-road kits.
