Overview
The Losi Pivot Block Set Rear, Aluminium is a premium upgrade component designed specifically for Losi 1/16 scale RC vehicles. This aftermarket chassis tune-up part is engineered to enhance the handling and performance characteristics of your mini RC buggy or stadium truck. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast looking to fine-tune your ready to run RC car or a racer seeking marginal gains in suspension geometry, this aluminium pivot block set offers a precision-engineered solution that serious RC hobbyists in the UK trust for competition and recreational bashing alike.
Compatible with both the Losi Mini-B 2WD Buggy and the Losi Mini-T 2.0 V2 2WD Stadium Truck, this rear pivot block set represents the kind of aftermarket attention to detail that separates casual RC drivers from those who understand the technical aspects of RC vehicle setup. Aluminium construction provides superior durability and precision compared to stock plastic components, whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for 1/16 scale performance. The set is manufactured by Losi, a recognised leader in mini-scale RC vehicles, ensuring authentic parts that integrate seamlessly with your existing setup.
This is not a complete vehicle—it is a targeted upgrade component for owners who already have one of the compatible Losi models and wish to improve chassis performance through suspension geometry modifications. If you're searching for ways to improve cornering response, reduce understeer, or dial in your RC car UK setup, this pivot block set is an essential consideration for your tune-up arsenal.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The rear pivot blocks are machined from high-grade aluminium alloy, providing superior strength and rigidity compared to the standard plastic components, which directly translates to more consistent handling and improved durability during both casual bashing and competitive racing sessions.
- Precision Engineering — Each pivot block is manufactured to exacting tolerances by Losi, ensuring perfect fitment and eliminating any play or binding that could compromise suspension response and predictability on the track.
- Enhanced Suspension Geometry — By upgrading to aluminium pivot blocks, you modify the effective geometry of your rear suspension system, allowing for fine-tuning of anti-roll bar clearance, suspension links angle, and overall chassis performance characteristics.
- Compatible with Multiple Models — This rear pivot block set works seamlessly with the Losi Mini-B 2WD Buggy (both Red and Blue RTR variants) and the Losi Mini-T 2.0 V2 2WD Stadium Truck (Red and Blue), making it a versatile upgrade choice for owners of these popular mini-scale platforms.
- Lightweight Performance — Aluminium offers the perfect balance between strength and weight for 1/16 scale vehicles, ensuring that upgrading to these precision components will not negatively impact your vehicle's acceleration, top speed, or overall performance envelope.
Technical Performance
The Losi Pivot Block Set Rear represents the kind of chassis upgrade that experienced RC enthusiasts understand as essential for optimising vehicle setup. When you upgrade from plastic to aluminium pivot blocks, you are addressing a critical point in your suspension system where geometry changes occur during cornering and acceleration. The aluminium construction eliminates flex and deflection that can accumulate over time in plastic components, ensuring that your suspension geometry remains consistent lap after lap, run after run. This is particularly important for 1/16 scale vehicles like the Mini-B 2WD Buggy and Mini-T 2.0 V2 Stadium Truck, where small improvements in handling precision can yield significant performance gains. The precision engineering ensures that suspension links are held at the exact angles intended by Losi's chassis designers, translating technical setup adjustments into real-world handling improvements. For brushless RTR models like the Mini-T 2.0 V2 Brushless and Mini-B Brushless variants, this kind of precision becomes even more critical, as the rapid acceleration and responsive motor delivery means any suspension compliance will be magnified. UK RC racers and serious bashers regularly invest in these kinds of upgrades to maintain competitive performance and ensure their mini-scale vehicles remain predictable and controllable in all driving conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles is the Losi Pivot Block Set Rear compatible with? — This aluminium pivot block set is specifically designed for the Losi 1/16 Mini-B 2WD Buggy (available in Red and Blue RTR configurations, both brushed and brushless versions) and the Losi 1/18 Mini-T 2.0 V2 2WD Stadium Truck (available in both Red and Blue RTR brushless variants). If you own either of these mini-scale RC vehicles, this rear pivot block set will integrate directly into your existing suspension system.
- Why would I upgrade to aluminium pivot blocks? — Stock plastic pivot blocks, whilst adequate for casual driving, can flex and wear over time, leading to inconsistent suspension geometry and unpredictable handling. Upgrading to precision-engineered aluminium blocks eliminates this flex, maintains precise suspension angles, and improves cornering response, steering predictability, and overall lap consistency—making this upgrade essential for competitive racing and serious bashing.
- Is this a complete suspension upgrade or just a component? — This is a component upgrade—specifically the rear pivot blocks that form the mounting points for your suspension links. It is not a complete suspension system, but rather a precision upgrade to an existing suspension on vehicles you already own. You will need to disassemble your current suspension to install these blocks.
- What tools do I need to install these pivot blocks? — Standard RC tools including a hex driver set suitable for 1/16 scale vehicles will be required to remove the existing plastic pivot blocks and install the aluminium upgrades. Your Losi vehicle documentation will provide specific torque specifications.
- Are these pivot blocks difficult to install? — Installation is moderately straightforward for owners with basic RC maintenance experience. You will need to remove your suspension links, extract the old plastic pivot blocks, and install the new aluminium blocks using the existing fasteners. If you are new to RC maintenance, consulting your vehicle manual or seeking assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts is recommended.
- Will this improve my lap times? — By maintaining precise suspension geometry, these aluminium pivot blocks can improve handling consistency and reduce setup variability, which can translate to more predictable performance and potentially faster lap times for skilled drivers. The improvement is typically moderate but noticeable to drivers who understand suspension tuning.
