Accurate setup for touring cars with Tamiya 53862 OP-862

The Tamiya 53862 Height & Droop Gauge is a compact, easy to use accessory for RC hobbyists who want precise ride height and droop readings. This simple gauge helps you establish ground clearance and suspension droop values so you can tune handling before hitting the track.

Measurement features and touring car compatibility

Designed with the touring car tuner in mind, the gauge measures both ground clearance and suspension droop to assist setup changes. It is compatible with all standard touring car chassis and makes a practical addition to your setup box for consistent adjustments.

Why measure ride height and droop

Consistent ride height and correct droop settings are fundamental to predictable handling. Using this gauge removes guesswork, allowing you to maintain the intended suspension travel and ride height that help deliver stable lap times and improved cornering feel.

The tool is built for standard touring car chassis measurements. It will give readings on similar flat chassis, but it is not optimised for buggies or large off road models.
Set the car on level ground, lift the body as needed and use the gauge to check travel with the wheel unloaded. Note front and rear values then adjust shocks or spring preload to reach the target droop.
Check before your first practice and after any major setup change or crash. Also recheck if temperature or tyre choice changes, as these factors affect ride height and handling.
