Default Rear Shocks

Does anyone sell the entire rear shock set for the 2.0? I am in the process of converting a 1.0.

I have found the parts for the shocks but not the entire shock assembly. I have only found the entire shocks on ebay taken off of vehicles being parted out.

Thanks for the update. I ended up ordering the longer bodies and shafts and will rebuild from there.

I have a Losi 2.0 T that I converted to Electric and love it. I noticed this weekend after running on a tight track I could not make tight turns and was having other vehicles turning on the inside of me and I could do notthing about it. I was told that Losi has opional hinge pins that make a big differance. Does anybody know the part number or have a setup to help make the Losi turn better? Thanks

I haven't heard of that. Try lowering the front droop 2-5mm that will increase your steering in the corners

Unless you have a RTR, The gold colored hinge pins are standard on the race roller. I have been running Lunsford Titanium hinge pins. Last weekend my
8ight T 2.0 was hooked up during warm-up until I suffered a head on collison with another truggy that jumped lanes. I lost steering to one side pretty bad, upon clean-up yesterday I noticed one of my Lunsford's bent to almost a 40 degree angle. I won't be buying them again!

I never thought the lunsford stuff was worth what they are charging for it. I purchased some outer hinge pins and they were not as strong as the stock losi ones, so I went back to the stock losi pins. Titanium sounds great but it just does not hold up for some reason.

Its not that it dosn't steer it just seams lazy and the back end does not come around quick. There were a few RC8T at the track the other night and they could always turn on the inside of me.

Something is wrong with setup. I have never seen another truggy that could turn under a 2.0T. Another big thing to consider is tire choice. Tires are the number one setup option period. If you have the wrong tires, nothing will make the truck turn.

As for hinge pins, I have never had a stock gold losi one bend.

The 2.0 hinge pins are better than the 1.0. I have not had a problem at all with the 2.0 hinge pins. What toe are you running in the rear?
