Arrowmax chassis balancing tool

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.
