What is the difference between these two, and can the upper B be used with a lower A? My buggy is a Kyosho MP 7.5. I believe the terms are universal, as I've seen these part options for other buggies.

Well, one's a "B" and one's an "A", dork! Geez, question like this reminds me of that goober in "Real Genius"! :loser:

Thanks MW, I knew the answer was so simple.

I do know that one gives the buggy a higher degree of caster than the other, but which one is higher, A or B, and what would be the result of mixing and matching the two. Or am I completely off on this thought? Here is an example of the blocks.

From the pictures I can't tell the difference between the two.

Not sure what the A and the B stand for, but I know that the longer they are, the more your wheels will turn in towards the chassis, and shorter they will turn out more.

hmmm maybe the A's are for the front and the B's are for the rear? or vice-versa? i dunno, just a guess.

Are you talking about the toe blocks? I tried looking for the "B arms" and I pull up the upper B blocks

Wow..a lot of :wasted: going on.

L and H blocks change roll center and A and B blocks change kick up and caster.
