They will be sold in a kit. The thick sway bars help all over but you may need even thicker ones for blue groove type circumstances so that is why its a kit.

Doesn't look like a 2.0 to me. Nitro chassis, shock caps don't have bleeder screws, side guards are 1.0. One of the rear camber links are bent pretty good too. Prob more i'm missing.

Good catch on the rear camber link, I missed that one.

This is the best pic of the top of the truck. With what the other have pointed out, looks like a 1.0. Let me know if you disagree.

Look guys, if you really raced the version 2 for the last year and half or whatever you may want to get this newer kit just to replace worn parts from use.

The mip kits use 4-40 size. They also make monster rod ends.

http://shop.dubro.com/products/produ...3.0.0.0?pp=12&

I think the regular ones would be fine for steering and the monster ones for camber links. We used to run the 4-40 ends on our gas trucks back in the day and they didn't have slop and lasted a long time. You can get good deals on ebay. I just picked up a 20 pack of the 3mm HD for less than $20 shipped. I'm going to use 3mm ti turnbuckles on the steering and drill them out and use 3.5 mm ti on camber links.

We bought some of theses on ebay,4-40 monster mall ends. THey were too small to fit in the lunsford ti turnbuckles, so drilled out,no big deal,but the brass balls and little brass stand offs were to small and had to be drilled for the stock screws to fit through that go into the steering rack,major pain. What size is mip using that dont require any drilling to fit the turnbuckels and stock screws.
I cant beleive losi hasnt done something about these crap ball ends,even with the hard anodized balls they wear out 10x faster than the tekno or other brand sct trucks, way to much slop to have sustainable toe and camber in the fron end

I was looking at getting one of those Vision pieces and their website has been down a few weeks now. If you got a set of calipers you can measure it and then find a replacement on Avid's site.
