Hudy 1:10 Touring Car & FWD Alu Tweak Set-Up Wheels

Famed for its set-up tools and stations, Hudy has released a new aluminium set-up wheel design. Used for precise and repeatable tweak adjustment on 1:10 Touring Car and FWD chassis, the rigid aluminium construction eliminates inaccuracies caused by rubber or foam tires, allowing accurate chassis balance checks. Rubber and foam tires are never perfectly round and often differ in diameter due to manufacturing tolerances and wear, which can lead to misleading tweak readings. Aluminium set-up wheels remove these variables completely, ensuring reliable and consistent measurements. Each wheel is CNC-machined to exact tolerances and perfectly matched within the set for maximum setup precision.
