The steering slop bothers me alot. I definitely have to put a ziptie around the servo saver to get rid of some of it. Honestly might replace the servo in the short future.

Just ordered the white dish wheels for my 2.0. Plans are a white body with carbon fiber wing and white wheels. Should look nice. Definitely gonna try to get some of the foams from Paul, hopefully red.
Cool picture I took earlier of some stuff on the bench.

I wished they had made more than 2,000 of the "limited edition" versions ...for $250 I would have purchased one.
Maybe Losi will come out w/ a few more special edition versions? "Stealth Black" w/ CF trim would be my choice.

Yeah it's pretty damn sloppy. I ordered the aluminum steering rack to see if that helps take up some of it (obviously wont affect the sloppy servo saver). I'll see if the zip tie can help remove a little bit of the play. I ordered a Xray servo saver from RC America from their 1/18 onroad car days, curious to see if I can fit that into the truck. Would be nice to swap the servo for something like a Hitec HS-5065mg, too.

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.

GPM makes some nice looking aluminum shocks for the original mini-t that you can find on ebay, but I don't think they'll be a perfect/direct drop-in to the 2.0.

I am sure this has been posted, yet I am not finding it, can someone explain the zip tie method? Does it just go around the the round portion of the servo saver? -just zip it as tight as you can?

I plan to get my Mini T out to the skatepark today ..test out the aluminum shocks. I put 37.5wt oil in all 4 shocks, and set spring collars about 1/2 way down the shock ...raised my COG, but should prevent it bottoming out on the high jumps at the skatepark. Fortunately I put a chassis protector on the bottom to keep the chassis scratch free. I'll have to post a photo, I used one of the large universal chassis protectors from Pro-Line, ...for $9.99 you get 2 large protectors which can make about 4 for the smaller Mini T.

Quick question - does anyone make any hardened slipper gear for this? Like MIP's offerings with the first version?
Also, I have M-chassis wheels mounted now. I had to get the dromida hex adapters and I had to shave the plastic hexes on the rear axle (front ones are steel) down from 7mm to 6mm. Now I can run street slicks (and probably foams) all day.
