ParticipantTeam Mclube and Doghouse racing picked up the complete sniper for the front and back wheels. It is a well thought out laser and works well. You have to spend the time to get the kart and the stand level to use all the functions, but for front end stuff, the kart level isn’t as important. Make sure you take the time to follow all of the set-up guidlines. Once you go thru the initial steps, the second time its faster and easier.
Happy with it? Absolutly.

ParticipantDane,
Don’t be confused with the other lasers being “the same thing” as Mark states.
I bought the sniper because of its ability to laser the rear of the kart and check true squareness of the chassis, true king pin inclination and overall chassis set up and squareness, as well as compound caster, not just the front end.
The sniper was/is the only one I could find that does the entire kart with one unit. It works as well with front/no front brakes, wheels on or off.
FYI

ParticipantSorry about that Jim, your right about that one!!!! 😳
I belive that the Superalign does the same thing, but it comes with a direct drive spindel pattern, and the attachment for a 40mm front. If you had a 40mill in the back, the same thing oculd be done. I think there is a 50 mill attachment. But you an go from a shifter spindle, to the dd spindle with no effort what so ever. We are pleased with the super align, and love the simplicity. I cannot speak on behalf of the sniper, as is i have 0 experiance with it. If anyone needs to use mine, just PM me.
