yeah ive been thinking about the vanquish knuckles and c-hubs... the strc parts dont look half bad i think im gonna try them out
STRC and Hot Racing are the upper echelon of cheaper brands.
the vanquish stage 1 kits are really nice and they happen to be cheaper than the axila upgrades. Just a thought.
Vanquish Axial Wraith Stage 1 Kit Silver they have this and 3 other colors in stock for $99 plus shipping
I'd go HR for the parts just for the simple fact that they have bolt on high steer like VP. I don't see a reason to use a copy of the stock part when you gain nothing but strength, no design improvements.
All link and steering sets that don't have replaceable ends are junk....
Do NOT use HR links. They have cheap-ass press fittings that are not secure and once they pop out you can never seat them tight enough again.
Again,... and emphatic NO on HR links, or any that are not the standard rod ends. Any press fitting ends will fail and quickly at that.
I would only go with HR products if they have no moving joints connections or are simple bolt on cosmetic options. Anything that is near a moving part or that is stressed with fail.
HR link Fail thread.
Tell that to my HR SCX10 tranny gears that get abused like a redheaded stepchild. I know their rod ends and universals are less than stellar, but a poor experience with those doesnt warrant a blanket statement that all their products are garbage.
I do agree the STRC Wraith Knuckles arent a good option as they donthave the bolt on ackerman arm. For knuckles VP or HR are the way to go.
