Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Losi RC models is this rear axle compatible with? — This hex set rear axle is compatible with the Losi 1/18 Mini-T 2.0 V2 2WD Stadium Truck Brushless RTR (both blue and red colour variants), the Losi 1/16 Mini-B 2WD Buggy Brushless RTR (available in red and blue), and the Losi 1/16 Mini-B Brushed RTR 2WD Buggy. Check your model's documentation to confirm which version you own before ordering.
- Will this aluminium rear axle improve my Mini-T 2.0 brushless truck's performance? — Yes, upgrading from the plastic factory rear axle to this aluminium hex set rear axle delivers multiple benefits including reduced flex under load, improved durability, and more consistent power delivery to the rear wheels. The lightweight aluminium construction also helps maintain optimal weight distribution, which enhances handling and acceleration characteristics in your Mini-T 2.0 stadium truck.
- Is this a difficult upgrade to install on my Mini-B buggy? — This is a transmission tune-up component designed as a direct replacement for your factory rear axle. As a straightforward drivetrain upgrade, installation should be accessible to most RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge and standard RC tools, though specific installation instructions may vary depending on your exact Mini-B model variant.
- What is the difference between this aluminium axle and the plastic factory component? — The factory rear axle in most Mini-T and Mini-B models is typically constructed from plastic to reduce weight and cost. This Losi Hex Set Rear Axle replaces that component with precision-engineered aluminium, delivering superior strength, reduced flex under load, and improved longevity. The trade-off is slightly increased weight, though this is negligible in 1/16 and 1/18 scale RC vehicles where the durability benefits far outweigh the minimal weight penalty.
- Is this a genuine Losi part or an aftermarket clone? — This is a genuine Losi OEM component, manufactured to the original specifications used in Losi Mini-T 2.0 and Mini-B models.
