I was really rushed to get the body done and kicking myself a little I didn't take some more time but I still think It came out decent especially since it'll be getting beat up shortly, still need to clean up some overspray cause the film didn't stay on well, but here she is.

Liked.

The roc412 mangled the stock knuckle and chub as expected and gave me a good reason to get the vanquish scale set unfortunately they took the universal with them. Pretty bummed about that.

There's a good chance the universal broke first and took out the chub, see the thread below.

You shouldn't have any of these on your truck anyway.

I've seen that thread but it was definitely not all the universals doing. I was gassing through a turn and the stock hubs just collapse on the themselves in turns. The wheel caught on a bump and it was all over

Instead if just replacing what broke he got a full pedicure
Vanquish VVD, scale knuckle/hubs, TI tie rod/drag link, clamping hexes, and SLW hubs(475) thinking about switching these out with the 600s on my scx10 but how wide is to wide lol?

Also if anyone has these on the ar60 chime in. I can't seem to get the steering links to play nice. I only tried a few different ways but if I mount in front of the servo horn in binds up with the tie rod and behind the rear nut clips the diff cover
Also, they mention a 45 bump stop and the VVD say they go 50 but at full lock they bind up pretty bad, what's the deal?
Other than that they look sexy as hell. But I'll like them better if I can fix these little hiccups

I'd change out those self tappers in the c-hubs. And on the lockouts if there present.

Yeah I will be throwing stainless ones in I just leave those ones in until I'm done fidling with something cause I don't like backing the stainless ones in and out they round out and beat up the threads
