The 214009 serves a dual purpose. The pivot blocks act as the "anchor points" for the rear inner hinge pins, determining the rear toe-in and anti-squat characteristics of the truck. The integrated bumper extends outward to shield the motor plate and transmission, acting as a "crumple zone" during backyard bashes or track collisions.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. High-Impact "Crumple Zone" Design
-
Motor Protection: The rear bumper is engineered with a specific flex profile to absorb energy. In a rear-first landing or collision, the bumper deforms to soak up the force, preventing it from reaching the sensitive motor shaft or gearbox housing.
-
Tough Composite Material: Molded from Losi’s signature high-durability nylon, which maintains its strength in cold weather and resists cracking under repetitive stress.
2. Precision Suspension Pivots
-
Zero-Play Alignment: The pivot blocks are the "soul" of the rear suspension. These blocks hold the hinge pins in a fixed position to ensure your rear tires maintain their factory-set toe-in for straight-line stability.
-
Low-Friction Interface: The internal bores are molded to a smooth finish, allowing the rear arms to pivot freely without binding, which is critical for consistent shock performance.
3. Truck-Specific Fitment
-
Stadium Truck Styling: Designed with the wider, protective profile required for the Mini-T 2.0 Stadium Truck body.
-
Direct OEM Fit: As a genuine Losi part, this kit uses factory mounting locations on the chassis, requiring no modification or "fiddling" to install.
