Look again at the pictures above. The arm on the knuckle is parallel with the wheel. They are standard geometry. Not trying to be an a$$ here but pointing something out

I apologize you are correct sir. I could have swore I ordered zero ackerman knuckles but I looked back at the order and it says high steer knuckles. Once again I have fawked up, they seem to have alot less ackerman than the Axial ones did so guess I will try them out for a while.
Once again sorry for doubting you.

No trouble The reasons behind the difference may be the fact your running them with the arms behind the axle instead of infront? Anyway it's a very nice axial

Not sure if it's going on this rig or my XR. Glad you like it.

Yea, I had a set on my XR at the comp last weekend and I really like the softness of them. I will be going to Axial blacks all around on the GC-3A and the XR.

Losi golds are good springs also, I just want to try something softer. I have been running Losi golds on the front and switching between Losi whites and grays on the rear. I believe Axial blacks on all four corners is gonna be the cats ass!

I have the Losi whites on all four corners right now. although my truck still isn't a runner I figure it wouldn't hurt to have some options for springs.
As soon as I get the motor thing sorted and get a charger and servo I will be good to go.

You will like the golds alot better, the whites are too stiff.

Got some new parts, MIP drive shafts, Axial 15T steel pinion, and Axial black springs. I also got a set of .850 hubs for the front to get a little bit more steering.

Not sure that I will use that body on this rig or not, but here it is sitting on there. This pic does not do this body justice, Rockthrasher did a hell of a job on this. I also put the Axial black springs on and flipped the rear shocks. I tried to flip the fronts also, but the caps bound on the link ends.

The springs feel good. I think that they are going to make this rig perform even better, if thats possible. I hope to get out on the rocks soon and do some testing if the weather cooperates.

Did you get yours going yet Sniper?
