My Mini T 2 shocks came yesterday, I haven't set them up yet, but they look really nice and appear to be high quality. I'll post photos and my review once I get them installed.

Foams for the Mini T

What are good tires for on-road use? Ordered two mini-t's

There’s limited options currently. Unless get the wheel adapters, then could even use touring car tires.

okay, update on the aluminum shocks. THEY ARE POINTLESS.
They have the same horrible design as the plastic ones. Only difference I see is that the housing is aluminum rather than plastic. I paid $50 for a full set of shocks that really offer no added benefit compared to the stock plastic ones. The aluminum ones are a 1 piece design, where the caps are molded to the body. You have to fill the shocks from the bottom. Why Losi did this is not something I understand. It makes filling them really difficult and really difficult to seal w/ air bubbles removed.

Had I done this again I personally would have found a similar shock from a different brand that matched the size of the stock Losi shocks. It's my only complaint w/ this car, yet to me it is a big one.

So it’s bottom fill on the aluminum shocks. I’d not heard that brought up

I joined mini-t FB group, but don't see how much those foam tires + 3D printed wheels are with shipping. Could you tell please how much you paid for them?

yes, bottom filled on the aluminum as well. Really sucks.
Save yourself the money, the plastic ones are just as "good" in my opinion.

I paid $40 shipped. He sold out the first order. He’s expecting about a month for next batch to be available.

Found it, thanks!

Anyone happen to know if the differential from the 2.0 will fit the 1.0 transmission? Badly need a set of diff gears for the older transmission.

The plastic ones are just as "good" but the aluminum ones sure look cooler!
I would imagine the aluminum bodies to be a little smoother/lower friction than the plastic bodies, so there maybe a subtle performance benefit there. It would really have been nice if they built the shock like a modern top-filled shock though and not like a copy of the xxx-t shocks from 2003 LOL

I was hoping that the aluminum would at least be smoother, -if they are I can not tell a difference. I built the aluminum ones and seriously compressed both the aluminum and plastic in my hands and could not tell a difference at all. The plastic's are fine in my opinion (w/ the exception of the backwards design). The aluminum are just for bling as far as I am concerned. I put them on my mini-t 2, yet to be honest the solid black plastic ones look just as sick ...I kind of even like the solid black a bit better. I have my oil filled TE 18R "factory team" shocks which I pulled out, they are much much nicer than the aluminum Losi ones. In fact they are about the same size and could probably be modded to work ...something I may consider at some point.

I spent $50 for the full set of aluminum shocks, to be honest the $50 could have been spent on an upgraded esc/motor combo ...that would have provided a much better performance increase for the money.
