The JConcepts Aluminium Ride Height Gauge (SCH-JC2282-1) is a precision setup instrument for 1/10 off-road and other RC vehicles. Machined from aluminium billet and blue anodised, it features laser‑etched graduations from 10–40mm for accurate, repeatable measurements. The gauge arrives pre‑assembled with 4mm pivot hardware and a 3mm setscrew and thumbscrew, with chamfered silver edging and a rounded boss touch point for consistent contact with the chassis. A protective latch box with foam insert is included.
How It Works
Place the base on a flat setup board and swing the pivoting arm to touch the underside of the chassis. Lock the thumbscrew and read the etched scale to check ride height. To set ride height, dial in the preferred measurement, position the gauge front and rear, then adjust shock collars until the chassis just meets the gauge. Many racers prefer a slight (around 0.5mm) clearance during final checks.

The ride height gauge comes preassembled with 4mm hardware for the pivot and 3mm setscrew and thumbscrew as the setting knob. The structure features chamfered silver edging, highlighting the design. The touch-off point on the gauge is a rounded boss and always meets the chassis at the proper angle. Each gauge comes in a latch box with foam insert which fits snugly around the instrument with heavy cushion. When racing gets serious, get precise with JConcepts.
Every setup sheet contains ride height information and the only way to achieve it properly is with a trusty gauge. The ride height gauge simply operates with 2 pivoting pieces. Checking the ride height is done by placing the base against a setting board or flat surface. The user operates the pivoting arm freely to touch off against the bottom of the vehicle chassis. At the touch point, secure the thumb screw on the gauge and check the etched marking.
To set the ride height, secure the thumbscrew on the etched number which is preferred. Place the gauge underneath the vehicle (front and rear) at the predetermined height and touch the suspension to the gauge. If a gap exists, raise shock collars to lower the ride height until it's matched to the gauge. If no gap exists or the spacing is too tight, lower the shock collars to raise the ride height to the desired amount. Most racers like a half millimeter space or a small feeling of space during a final check.
