The 214005 set is engineered to maintain the precise Caster (the forward/backward tilt of the kingpin) and Camber (the vertical tilt of the tire) settings of your mini-racer. These parts act as the "anchor points" for your upper suspension links and steering knuckles. If these blocks are cracked or "egged out," the car will wander on the straights and push in the corners.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. High-Impact Composite Construction
-
Strategic Flex: Molded from Losi’s proprietary composite, these parts are designed to absorb the energy of a "nose-first" landing or a clip against a track pipe, protecting your more expensive aluminum chassis.
-
Reinforced Pivot Points: The holes for the hinge pins and ball studs are reinforced to minimize "slop," ensuring your suspension geometry remains consistent throughout a 10-minute main event.
2. Precision Steering Geometry
-
Factory Caster Angle: The caster blocks are molded to the optimized racing angle for the Mini-T 2.0, providing the perfect balance between "straight-line tracking" and "steering snap" at corner entry.
-
Integrated Camber Link Mounts: The front camber block features reinforced mounting holes for the upper links, allowing for easy adjustment of the front roll center.
3. Drop-In OEM Replacement
-
Seamless Compatibility: As a genuine Losi replacement part, the LOS214005 requires no shimming or filing. It is a direct fit for the 1/18 Mini series, ensuring your front end is "squared up" perfectly.
-
Lightweight Efficiency: These parts provide maximum structural rigidity without adding unnecessary unsprung weight to the front suspension.
