Klinik RC carbon fibre ball diff jig & camber gauge

Coming from Klinik RC is their new combined carbon fibre ball diff jig and camber gauge. Made in the USA from 3mm carbon fibre, the jig will help build the perfect ball diff every time as it makes checking the adjustment a breeze by simply slipping the jig into the slots of the diff outdrives. Once strapped into the jig and by turning the diff gear, the diff’s hardness/setting can be checked easily. As an added feature, -1 degree and -2 degree camber settings are built into each side for quick camber checks before each run. With its size the gauge is usable for most 1/10th and 1/8th scale tyres.
