Floating Ride-Height & Droop Gauge
JConcepts introduces a proper measuring device, and the gauge is labeled in multiple ways to suit the scale of the off-road vehicle. Laser etched adjustments follow droop measurements plus or minus the bottom of the chassis height to provide the racer with a consistent reference. The plates on the droop gauge are marked on both sides depending on which height blocks the racer is using at that time. In example, the racer is dialing setup on a 1:8th buggy, they use the 36mm droop block under the car. The driver confirms the gauge plates are configured to the height for 36 blocks then measure the axle heights accordingly.
In addition, the handy droop gauge can also be used as a ride height gauge by simply sliding it under the car and checking the measurement as usual. The floating nature of the tool is great for quick and accurate checks of the setup. For additional methods, the floating gauge also has a thumb wheel to cinch or lock in a certain height. The ride height is measurable from 5 to 45mm for multiple vehicles and scales while the droop is from -20 to +9mm.
Match the JConcepts #5018 gauge with #5019 droop blocks for the best setting process in the game. The setup and tuning items are custom designed, labeled for authenticity and go together perfectly with the JConcepts #2103 setting board. #gojconcepts

Droop Block
One of the most important adjustments on an RC vehicle is droop. JConcepts set out to have a versatile, yet accurate system to add to the lineup. Spencer Rivkin was heavily involved in this project pushing the idea through as a needed accessory from the JC team. Going back to his days working with mentor Brian Kinwald, Spencer was taught the method of adjusting droop as a measurement at the axle height relative to the bottom of the chassis. The blocks are built at 36mm in height for 1:8th off-road racing, and 30mm available by rotating the block 90 degrees for 1:10th scale racing.
The all-aluminum machined blocks stand tall, lightweight, and flashy and fit into the larger compartments in a racer toolbox like JConcepts #5130-28. The black anodized item is highlighted with an attached blue anodized piece, laser etched and marked for height convenience. Match the JConcepts #5019 droop blocks with #5018 gauge for the best setting process in the game. The setup and tuning items are custom designed, labeled for authenticity and go together perfectly with the JConcepts #2103 setting board. #gojconcepts
