Overview
In the dark ages of RC racing, setting your ride height meant squinting at stepped wedge blocks on a warped pit mat or fumbling with manual calipers.
Enter the SkyRC Digital RC Ride Height Gauge. Engineered to give exact digital readouts from 2mm up to 38mm, this tool eliminates parallax visual errors and illusions entirely. Whether you are balancing left-to-right chassis height on a carpet tourer or setting up precise rake for high-angle RC drifting, this gauge gives you clear, instant numbers so you can adjust shock preload and spring collars with absolute confidence.
Essential for track racers, RC drift setup geeks, and detail-oriented bashers who want repeatable, science-backed chassis geometry across 1/24 micro rigs up to 1/8 scale machines. (Note: Don't use this on a big rock crawler, as this gauge measures up to 38mm maximum!)
Pre-Measurement Setup Tip
Pro Tip: Always make sure you are placing your vehicle on a completely flat surface, such as an RC setup board or a glass tuning plate, before measuring ride height to ensure absolute precision.
Key Features
-
2–38mm Measuring Range: Supports ultra-low touring car ride heights all the way up to 38mm ground clearance for rally and buggy setups.
-
Digital LCD/OLED Readout: Replaces inaccurate plastic step-gauges with high-precision digital numbers down to decimal increments.
-
Instant Calibration: Press the measuring rod flat against your setup board and hit the calibrate button. Then calibrate with the custom CNC calibration block (with 10mm and 20mm reference points).
-
Instant Screen Rotation: Since the measuring rod is fixed on the left side, reading the measurement will naturally flip upside down when you measure the opposite side of your car. Simply hold the digital gauge with two fingers and press the screen flip button with your thumb to rotate the readout 180°. You will be able to check every corner of your chassis in no time.
-
Included Protective Case: Includes a sturdy plastic storage box with custom nested foam padding for the gauge and calibration block to protect your precision electronics on the workbench and inside your pit bag.
- Faster Trackside Tuning: Speeds up corner weighting, shock collar adjustments, and chassis leveling between heat qualifiers.
