Have you used these? The 2.0 Truggy uses different boots for the front & rear, which ones do they fit?

This is for the 8T 2.0... According to the parts explosion, the front shock uses #5426 and the rear shock uses #5427. The packaging label on #5427 says "REAR ONLY".

Here are the parts:

Rear T 2.0 Shock Boots:

Rear T 2.0 Shock Shafts:

Front T 2.0 Shock Boots:
http://carolinasrc.com/Webstore/Scri...idproduct=2569

Front T 2.0 Shock Shafts:
http://carolinasrc.com/Webstore/Scri...idproduct=2564

The T 2.0 front shocks are the same as the old 1.0 rears. Also the T 2.0 shocks on the rear are considerably longer thus needing longer boots and shafts.

Hope this helps.

The rear shocks are 20mm longer than the 1.0 that is part of the big hype! They moved 1.0 rears to the front of the 2.0 and stretched the 2.0 rears by 20mm. That is one major help in the way the truck handles for sure. :nod: Kingheadz rear hubs with the bigger bearing will be out on 3-20-09, I will still be modding stock hubs and shock towers for those who want them just hit me up and I will get it handled. :nod:

Have these been out very long? First I've seen of them. KingHeadz announced their version, but it isn't available yet.

They've been out for about a month now. I've been using them on my truggy and really like them. No bearings issues to date using Avid Bearings.

pilotwings119 03-13-2009 08:34 PM

Cool, thanks. Wish they were black though.. :tire:

How much heavier are they compared to stock Rich ?

dave708s 03-14-2009 08:49 AM

Hey guys, Ive been reading this thread for awhile now and it sounds like people are pretty stoked about this trug, once you get the bugs worked out. I'm considering making the switch to the Losi 2.0 from a Kyosho ST-RR. I love the Kyosho but it always seems like im breaking A-arms or hub carriers or something. I'd be very interested to hear from some folks who've owned or at the very least driven both trucks, and have some comparison points regarding handling, durability, etc. I know another guy asked about this several pages back but I dont think he got much response.

Thanks in advance:)

only 6 grams more each.:eek: They look killer once installed and just another piece to make a very durable truck darn near bullet proof!
