Koswork Adjustable Ride Height Gauge for 1/10 Buggy

You can feel a half-millimeter mistake before you can always see it. On a blue-groove track, a car that felt planted in morning practice can start bicycling in the second qualifier. The first thing serious buggy racers check is ride height — and that check is only as good as the tool you use.

The Koswork 12-22mm Adjustable Ride Height Gauge for 1/10 Buggy

The Koswork 12-22mm Adjustable Ride Height Gauge with 5mm Block is designed specifically for 1/10 off-road buggy racing. The 12-22mm adjustable range covers the full spread of realistic buggy ride heights — from low-grip carpet setups to high-bite clay tracks where you want more chassis clearance.

The included 5mm block adds a practical reference point for droop checks. The tool sits square on a setup board or pit table, reads clearly under fluorescent pit lighting, and lets you work fast when you are chasing balance between rounds.

Why Buggy Ride Height Is Never a One-Number Conversation

Front-to-rear rake, track condition, tire growth, jump faces, and grip level all change what the car wants. A gauge that lets you make quick, repeatable checks is useful not just after a rebuild — but after every hard landing, every spring change, and every time you touch droop or preload.

On a 2WD buggy, a small front ride height change can calm initial steering or help the car stay flatter through fast sweepers. On a 4WD buggy, matching left-to-right after a rough main can save you from chasing a handling problem that is really just uneven chassis attitude.

Race-Day Situations Where This Gauge Earns Its Keep

After a rebuild: Diff service or shock refresh done, car back on the table, something feels off in the first laps. Check ride height before chasing camber or toe — preload often ends up uneven after reassembly.

After a crash: Spring collars can move even when nothing is visibly bent. A quick gauge check prevents a wasted round.

Between qualifiers: If the track watered, grip changed, or your rear end started stepping out in the sweeper, ride height is one of the first controlled variables to verify before making bigger changes.

Adjustable Range vs Fixed-Step Blocks

Fixed-step blocks can work if you run one setup on one surface and never deviate. But most competitive buggy racers tune across different tracks, conditions, and tire compounds. An adjustable gauge lets you dial in the exact number you want and confirm it quickly — no sorting through a set of blocks, no estimating between steps.
