I've used the older Hudy setup station (all plastic/lexan) and the Integy station. Both have their strengths, but I'd have to say the Integy is the better system. The Integy system uses higher quality components, but is much more time consuming to setup and break down. But that additional time yields better results as there is no play or binding with Integy's bearing/bushing approach. I'd give it 5 stars if it were easier to setup and break down, but it is excellent.
Quality and ease of use is what I can say about this station. As its my first one ever to use. It was a breeze. Took me about 20 min after setup to get everything dialed as I watched football. Just remember to adjust, settle suspension. Recheck, then fine tune. A must have to keep your Truck/Buggy ect. tracking straight and getting the most out of your setup. It is a bit pricey. After the first use I feel it was money well spent. I would highly recommend it!!
OVERVIEW Out of the box, the Universal Setup Station System will work with most 1/8-scale buggy or truggy with standard 1/8-scale axles and wheel nuts, such as: Associated RC8/RC8T, SC8; Hobao Hyper Series; HPI/Hot Bodies D8/D8T, Hellfire; Kyosho Inferno Series; Losi 8IGHT/8IGHT-T series; Mugen MBX/MBXT series, OFNA LX One; Tamiya 801x/801xt series, XRAY XB8, 808 series, etc. The Universal Setup Station comes with two sets of adaptors; the Type-A adaptors are for vehicles with 6mm x M5-threaded axles such as the Traxxas Revo/T-Maxx 2.5/3.3, HPI E-Savage, and Losi LST1. The Type-B adaptors are for the HPI Savage 2.5/4.6/X/XL which uses 8mm x M5-threaded axles with a reverse thread on one side. Other adapters are available (sold separately) to adapt the setup station to other vehicles, please refer to our Universal Setup Station Axle Adapter Fitment Chart to find the correct adapters for your application. You can download the Universal Setup Station Axle Adapter Fitment Chart from HERE.
If you have ever been to a race track you will know that proper chassis setup is critical, and can be the difference between a DNF and a checkered flag. for most 1/10 and 1/8-scale GT, buggy, truggy, and monster truck owners we offer our 30-piece Universal Setup Station System. Crafted from aluminum and anodized in a gunmetal finish, the setup station can measure each corner of your vehicle individually - up to 15-degrees of camber, 30-degrees of caster, and +35/-40-degrees of toe. The measuring plates all ride on ball bearings for smooth movement and precise readings.
Installation Notes
Integy products are designed for experienced RC enthusiasts. Unless included with the product itself, most of our products do not include instructions. The purchaser is responsible for any product assembly/disassembly, any set-up and adjustment, and periodic maintenance. If you need help disassembling your stock vehicle, you will need to refer to the instruction manual/exploded parts view of your particular vehicle, as provided by the manufacturer of your vehicle. If you are unable to assemble and/or install a product, please consult your local Integy dealer for assistance.
All products will require some prep out of the package. Some items (shocks, gearboxes, axles, etc.) are assembled for packaging purposes only, and may require standard prep before installation and usage, such as shimming for proper alignment, checking tightness of all components and fasteners, installing your own shock oil, anti-seize, or grease. Please be sure to apply threadlock on all metal-to-metal interfaces prior to installation; do not just install the item out of the package and assume they have been prepped correctly. Check, adjust, and set/reset all new items when taken out of the package.
Wheel and tire sets may be sold partially assembled for packaging purposes only, and require standard wheel/tire prep before installation and usage. All wheels and tires require CA glue (if press-fit style) or separate assembly (if beadlock style) before being used. Wheels and tires are not always pre-glued from the factory (unless specified in the product name or description).
Unless specified, not all products include hardware; if new or different-sized hardware and/or fasteners are included with the upgrade kit, those are meant to replace the factory hardware. Extra hardware, shims, or spacers may be required for some installations. Some parts may require permanent modification to the vehicle for fitment, and may eliminate certain OEM features. Some items may require modification to the vehicle for proper clearance.

Amazing Setup Station
This setup station is awesome! The fit and finish is great and assembly is easy. The case has nice foam cutouts, but are a little to tight but easily fixed with a hobby knife. Overall, great product and I would refer anybody to it.
