King Headz Losi 8ight Front caster blocks

New for the Losi 8ight 2.0 and 8ight-T 2.0 are these front caster blocks which have been CNC machined from 7075 aircraft grade aluminium and anodized. These blocks will allow you to adjust caster on each wheel independent from the other wheel by simply loosening two bolts, rotating the block and then re-tightening the bolts. There are indexing holes and a provided gauge to let you adjust the block from 5 degree of additional positive caster from the stock Losi block all the way to 5 degree of negative caster in 2 1/2 degree increments. These are also designed to increase rigidity, add strength and improve durability.
