All depends how soft you wish to make ...

It comes with a new rear toe block that allows you to adjust it at the arm mount instead of the hub. It comes with 0 degree rear hubs.

Are the Losi hubs an acceptable way to adjust toe? Using blocks shortens wheelbase when adding toe.

Any means of adding rear toe-in will decrease wheelbase... minutely..

Wheelbase can be adjusted however you like by shimming the rear hubs..

If you are worried about adjusting the toe at the block causing a shorter wheelbase...only slightly, and you can make up for that with adjusting the hub. i would be more concerned about adding losi hubs as they arent designed for the car and you could end up messing with the rear width.

No it doesnt, most of the newer brushless motors are being designed to not have that much hang out of the left side and therefore be closer to the centerline.

I believe the press release indicates .5 degree hubs are included.

I run speed passion v3 motors and it only took a 1mm spacer to balance the weight of the motor on the trans.

id get the new v2 shocks for both cars, it makes rebuilding them so much easier. Also get the 30 degree caster blocks because ive found them to turn much more effectively on smaller tracks. new rear hubs with the toe blocks found on the new b4/t4.1 kits.
