Machined from heavy brass material and adding about 98g of weight to the front of the chassis, the part not only makes for improved climbing performance, the mount also reinforces the chassis assembly. In addition the relocation of the steering servo further helps with overall performance. The mount accepts most standard-size servos, it comes with a black surface coating for looks and corrosion resistance and it includes all needed hardware, however it only works in combination with Samix‘s END-4035 or END-6035 parts.

RPM Super Rock Rey front spindle set

Coming from RPM and made for the Losi Super Rock Rey truck is a reinforced front spindle set. The parts have reinforced steering arm ribs that triangulate further than stock, strengthening the steering arm to unbreakable levels. RPM also increased the amount of support material surrounding the axle bearings to improve overall strength and crash survivability. To further the aesthetic appeal, RPM redesigned the brake calliper mounts for a cleaner, more finished look and made them lighter. In addition the stock, heavyweight 4mm king pin retaining screws were replaced with lightweight 3mm versions. This simple screw size change reduces the overall unsprung weight of the spindles by four grams without compromising strength. The spindles utilise the stock suspension geometry and are moulded from engineering grade nylons for durability.
