Overview
The Hot Racing Aluminum Shock Tool and Spring Gauge is a precision pit tool that lets you measure, match, and verify shock and spring performance with laboratory-grade accuracy. Hard-anodized 6061 aluminum construction with a laser-etched measuring scale on the face provides clean, durable, and easy-to-read measurements during shock setup and tuning.
Mount your shock on the gauge, slide the indicator to extended position, then slowly compress to closed position — the brass-bushing-supported pivoting gauge will graphically display any variance, letting you spot inconsistent shocks or mismatched spring rates instantly. A must-have tool for serious 1/8 and 1/10 scale racers.
Key Features
- Hard-anodized 6061 aluminum construction
- Brass-bushing-supported pivoting gauge for maximum precision
- Laser-etched measuring scale won't wear off over time
- Slide indicator displays variance graphically
- Designed for 1/8 to 1/10 scale shock work
Performance Benefits
- Quickly identify mismatched or worn shocks
- Verify spring rates match across all four corners
- Spot inconsistencies before they hurt lap times
- Reproducible setups across multiple cars or sessions
Usage Notes
Mount the shock onto the tool's pivot points. Slide the gauge bar to the fully extended position, then slowly push it to the compressed position. The pointer will display variances graphically, letting you address them by rebuilding the shock or matching it to a partner. For best results, test all four shocks back-to-back at the same temperature.
