Frequently Asked Questions
- What are suspension balls and why do I need them? — Suspension balls are essential components that connect your suspension arms to your RC buggy's chassis, allowing the suspension to articulate smoothly. Over time, these balls wear out from constant impacts and lateral forces during driving, causing loose steering, poor handling and unpredictable performance. Replacing worn suspension balls with genuine Losi 6.8mm units restores your 8ight 2.0's suspension geometry and ensures crisp, responsive handling.
- Are these genuine Losi parts? — Yes, the Z-LOSA6056 suspension balls are genuine Losi-manufactured components produced to exact OEM specifications. Purchasing genuine parts ensures perfect compatibility with your Losi 8ight 2.0 and guarantees the quality standards Losi is recognised for throughout the RC hobby.
- How often should I replace suspension balls? — Suspension ball replacement frequency depends on your usage intensity and driving style. Competitive racers and aggressive bashers may need replacements every few months, whilst casual drivers might go longer between replacements. Inspect your suspension balls regularly; if you notice play, clicks or unresponsive steering, it's time to replace them.
- Will these fit my Losi 8ight 2.0? — These suspension balls are specifically designed for the Losi 8ight 2.0 platform and are a direct fit replacement requiring no modification. The 6.8mm diameter specification matches your buggy's suspension system perfectly, ensuring proper geometry and performance.
- What's the difference between 6.8mm and other suspension ball sizes? — The 6.8mm specification is unique to certain Losi platforms and is critical for maintaining correct suspension geometry. Using the wrong size will result in suspension misalignment, poor handling and potential damage to your suspension components. Always use the exact size specified for your model.
