VP 8* Chubs and Knuckles Vs. XR Mod Question...
 

Hi Guys,

Been a while since I had time to work on my rigs. Figure it's about time to revamp my sporty with more steering. 3 questions....

1. Which one?...XR mod w/VP Incision Chubs and knuckles or VP 8* Chubs and 8* Knuckles both setups with knuckle weights...which one would give me more steering since they both run the same price and both setups have knuckle weights options?

2. I will be upgrading to VP wheels DH ProComp II's w/slugs but would this be necessary if I have knuckle weights already? I need narrow front wheels if I want more steering and wider hubs to gain more clearance between the front shocks and the front lipo which I plan on moving onto a lexan plate which will hold the lipo pack over the front 4 link.

3. And what wheel hubs are yall running for XR mod and the 8* setup on DH II's on the AX10 axles?

Currently here's my current setup:
Axial Clocked CHubs
Axial Zero Ackerman High Steer Knuckles
Axial CVD's w/Gunnar pins
JonesN BTA tie rod w/modded drag link to fit my Losi aluminum servo horn.
Hitec 7955TG @ 7.0V w/RR servo protector

Of course CI foams on all 4...firm inner soft outer for front and firm inner med outer for rear.

Here's somewhat of an answer,http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...12-sporty.html post 13 you can see the difference, I myself am loving the xr mod, with this mod I run the narrowest hub on my dh 1's up front , I don't have the knuck weights for it yet but soon

That is a huge improvement between the XR mod compared to the 8* setup! Didn't know it was that extreme...plus with the XR front CVD's they seem a lot stronger than the Axial CVD's even with Gunnar pins.

Time to order! Thanks for that great link sococrawler just what I wanted to see!

You're welcome, I have axial cvds with Gunnar pins as well but the stay in the scalers
