Just wanted to rave about the Aluminum Inclined King Pin Spindle/12*Carrier LOSA1728, And the V2 setup with cut links. DIALED.......On Power and Off power was improved. On power steering is no joke on a well watered track.

I think it compliments the V2 setup perfectly. Now I just need to pick up the King Head rear hub, cause these bearings are killing me.

I just got the v2 rear tower....is anything else needed to use this?


also.......does the Ballistic nimh rx pack fit in Losi box?? I am used to Protek LI-fe speed and power in my K cars, but they would'nt fit in the losi box, im not hacking it up either.........what are you guys running for rx packs............Im open to suggestions, looking at the Ballistic nimh & Losi lipo and Losi regulator with switch right now.

will this fit properly without modification?

The ballistic pack will fit without the foam in and using the hump lid. The losi lipo fits perfectly with the foam and flat lid. The ballistic pack is also very heavy. I used to run AA packs like the ballistic one, and they worked well but nothing like the lipo does.:nod:

Short ackerman, shorter rear camber links, thinner rear sway bar. Same 3 things I have recommended to others in this thread.;)

Yep stock foam. Connector is outside the box. I have a hole drilled in the side of the box so I can easily pull the connector through to get the battery out for charging. It's too damn hard to get it through the stock hole when the tray is in the car. I'll try to get some pics of how I have it setup.:nod:

Here's a pic. The pic isn't too great, but you can see how everything it routed.
