does, the adjustable supension blocks make changing the rear toe and anti squat and etc make it easier than just changing the stock supension blocks ?

i mean the people at my track most of them just keep the stock blocks on that are non adjustable like me . does it make the handling better on the front end at least ?

The adjustable blocks are better in my opinion not only because they are adjustable but because you can make them like new again by changing the inserts for less that 2 bucks. Beats the hell outta buying new hinge pin braces when they get worn.

that makes sense than maybe when i got some more spending money i will look at them for my 1.0 t . i actaully, never seemed to have problems with the plastic hinge pin braces but i do like the aluminuim rear supension block better .

but, i like that the adjustable front suspension block you can change the kick up i never messed with that does that make the eight truggy handle better or something ?

Save your pennies and buy somebody's used 2.0t. At the end of the season and over the winter many of them will be available since so many guys buy new ones for each season. Half of them will have adj hinge pin braces on anyway. The 1.0 was good in its day but now it's like trying to make a race horse outta a jackass.

Once a part causes a dnf it comes off unless there is no replacement. These inserts should say replace regularly. They do fail and when it happens to you it won't matter if you can replace the plastic inserts or that you can adjust the tow with ease. I have even had the alum cover on the new style come off. I'll stick with a solid piece of alum.

Ive pushed 2 pin's through in my 3+ years of running Losi, they were both quite some time ago(well before the upgraded adjustable were available) and I have Yet to upgrade my original's to the updated,...if you keep your hingepins clean and bind free, I dont foresee any pins coming out or bushing's being mangled.

Crash hard enough and Ya it'll take out the insert, but if your crashing like a monkey all over the place your gonna break stuff no matter what brand toe plate's your running,

I ran the Old M2C's with the big delrin ball when i first got into losi and found the balls to wear way too fast, Im sure its why Mitch changed up the way he does it Also to match the adjust ability of the losi units.

In the end pick what YOU want and be happy.

Quick question....Are the 8t 2.0 fuel tanks different than the 8t 1.0's. I've been running both for sometime now but someone told me they're different. I can't tell a difference
