What would be the best tool to buy for caster, camber and toe-out?
1. http://www.excel-racing.com/Sniper_V2_p/sniper%20v2.htm

2. http://www.motorsport-tools.com/kart-billet-digital-caster-camber-gauge-with-silver-case-p-246551.html

What is the main difference between these 2 tools? 1st is fitted on top, 2nd on the axes of the wheel?!

thx

go with the Sniper V2. Very accurate, fast, and easy to use. Also easy to sell if you ever decide you want to get out of karting or upgrade to a newer model.

+1 on the Sniper. The V2 Inox has strong magnets as well and works with most spindles.

Camber & toe are the two angels you need to be able to measure. Caster doesn't need to be measured, just increased or decreased when needed. It will always be positive. Go with the Sniper.
