Overview
The LOS Adjustable Aluminium Pivot Set, C & D is a precision suspension tuning component designed specifically for Losi Mini-T 2.0, Mini-B, and BL models. This adjustable pivot system allows RC car UK enthusiasts and serious competitors to fine-tune their vehicle's geometry and handling characteristics with professional-grade accuracy. Whether you're running a ready to run RC buggy or customising an existing platform, this aluminium upgrade delivers the adjustability you need to optimise performance on different track surfaces and driving conditions.
Built from durable aluminium construction, this pivot set represents a significant upgrade over standard plastic components. The adjustable design means you can modify toe-in angles, anti-squat settings, and suspension geometry without needing to purchase multiple fixed options. For RC car UK drivers looking to extract maximum performance from their Mini-T 2.0, Mini-B, or BL platform, this is an essential tuning component that serious competitors and dedicated hobbyists rely on.
The set includes multiple shims and pills in varying degrees, enabling precise suspension geometry adjustment. This level of tunability is particularly valuable for off-road RC buggy racing, where small changes in suspension geometry can make measurable differences in cornering speed, stability, and overall handling balance.
Key Features
- Adjustable Aluminium Construction — The use of aluminium rather than plastic provides superior durability and precision. Aluminium pivots resist bending and maintain their geometry under demanding conditions, ensuring consistent handling throughout your driving session and extended lifespan compared to standard components.
- Multiple Shim Options — The inclusion of both 0.5mm and 0.2mm shims provides extremely fine adjustment granularity. This allows you to dial in suspension geometry with precision that would be impossible with fixed components, enabling custom setups tailored to your specific track conditions and driving style.
- Degree Pills for Precise Tuning — The set includes 0-degree and 1-degree pills that allow you to adjust offset angles in any direction. The 0-degree pill in the C/D block delivers 3 degrees of toe-in and 2 degrees of anti-squat, while the 1-degree pill provides adjustable offset, giving you complete control over suspension geometry.
- Compatibility with Multiple Models — Designed for Losi Mini-T 2.0, Mini-B, and BL platforms, this single component works across multiple models in Losi's compact vehicle range, making it a versatile addition to any Losi-focused RC car collection.
- Professional Racing Component — This is the type of precision suspension tuning equipment used by competitive RC drivers and racing teams. Having access to genuine OEM Losi parts like this elevates your ability to compete at higher levels and extract maximum performance from your vehicle.
Technical Performance
The adjustable aluminium pivot set delivers professional-grade suspension tuning capability for serious RC buggy and RC truck enthusiasts. Unlike fixed plastic pivots that limit your setup options, this adjustable aluminium system allows complete suspension geometry customisation. The inclusion of four 0-degree pills, four 1-degree pills, six 0.2mm shims, and four 0.5mm shims provides the precision adjustment needed for competitive racing. When the 0-degree pill is installed in the C/D block, the system delivers 3 degrees of toe-in combined with 2 degrees of anti-squat, creating a baseline geometry suitable for most racing conditions. The 1-degree pills offer adjustable offset capability in any direction, enabling you to fine-tune suspension behaviour for specific track characteristics. Aluminium construction ensures these components maintain their precise geometry under the stresses of aggressive driving, maintaining consistent handling lap after lap. This level of adjustability is essential for drivers competing in organised RC car UK racing series or those dedicated to extracting maximum performance from their Mini-T 2.0, Mini-B, or BL platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the 0-degree and 1-degree pills in this pivot set? — The 0-degree pill provides fixed geometry with 3 degrees of toe-in and 2 degrees of anti-squat when installed in the C/D block. The 1-degree pill offers 1 degree of adjustable offset in any direction, allowing you to customise suspension angles beyond the fixed 0-degree setting. This dual approach gives you both a reliable baseline setup and the flexibility to experiment with variations.
- How do I use the shims included in this set? — The 0.5mm and 0.2mm shims allow you to make fine micro-adjustments to suspension geometry. Different shim combinations create subtle changes in suspension behaviour without requiring component replacement. This lets you dial in your setup with precision that would be impossible with fixed pivots alone.
- Is this pivot set suitable for beginners? — This is an advanced tuning component best suited to experienced RC car enthusiasts who understand suspension geometry and have baseline driving skills. Beginners will benefit more from learning on stock components first. However, if you're developing as a driver and plan to compete in RC car UK racing, upgrading to adjustable components like this is an important step in your progression.
- What vehicles does this pivot set fit? — The LOS Adjustable Aluminium Pivot Set, C & D is specifically designed for Losi Mini-T 2.0, Mini-B, and BL models. Verify your model before purchasing, as pivot components are model-specific and not cross-compatible with other platforms.
- Why should I upgrade from plastic to aluminium pivots? — Aluminium pivots provide superior durability, precision, and consistency compared to plastic. Plastic can flex and deform under load, affecting your suspension geometry during hard driving. Aluminium maintains its precise geometry throughout your session, translating to more consistent and predictable handling. For competitive drivers, this consistency is essential for reliable performance.
- Can I use this pivot set on a standard ready to run RC buggy? — Yes, provided your ready to run model is a Losi Mini-T 2.0, Mini-B, or BL. This genuine OEM component is designed to work with these specific platforms and will integrate seamlessly with your existing setup.
