RC Maker Digital Caster Gauge Platform for Mi9

New from aftermarket option parts manufacturer RC Maker is this Digital Caster Gauge Platform for the Schumacher Mi9 1:10 Electric Touring Car. This allows you to use an existing digital angle gauge to read the caster on the recently released Mi9. If you have one in camber or caster form from the Awesomatix, you can simply remove the old plate and fasten this new plate onto the caster gauge! It slides on and locates onto the Mi9 with ease, no matter what steering arms you’re using. This allows you to check the caster with or without a setup station attached to the car.
