The 214006 is engineered to provide smooth, slop-free steering under the high-stress conditions of RC racing. These spindles house the ball bearings for the front axles and feature integrated steering arms that connect to your turnbuckles. Because they are the "outermost" part of the suspension, they are designed to be lightweight to reduce unsprung mass while remaining tough enough to survive cartwheels and pipe-strikes.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. High-Impact Composite Construction
-
Optimized Rigidity: Molded from Losi’s signature composite to ensure the spindle doesn't "flex" under heavy cornering loads, which would otherwise cause the car to "push" or understeer.
-
Precision Bearing Seats: The internal bores are machined to exacting tolerances to ensure your 4x8x3mm (or standard mini) bearings sit perfectly flush and spin with zero friction.
2. Steering Geometry & Ackermann
-
Integrated Steering Arms: The arms are molded at the factory-specified angle to maintain the correct Ackermann Effect, ensuring the inside wheel turns sharper than the outside wheel for maximum cornering efficiency.
-
Dual Pivot Points: Features reinforced mounting holes for the kingpins (vertical) and the steering ball studs (horizontal), minimizing mechanical "play."
3. Drop-In OEM Fitment
-
Seamless Compatibility: As a genuine Losi part, the LOS214006 requires no modification. It is a direct replacement for the 1/18 Mini series, ensuring your front end remains "squared up" and consistent.
-
Universal Left/Right Design: The kit includes a matched pair, allowing you to refresh both sides of the front suspension simultaneously.
