That knuckle is awesome. Here I was mentally designing a knuckle to use my old maxx MIP shafts and rpm 15mm bearing knuckles and you come up with this... Some days I hate you more than others.

Low weight, bearings instead of bushings for steering, BIGGER bearings, etc, etc...

YES PLEASE!

Thanks man!

Yeah, these knuckles should solve a lot of problems for people. Its funny to see people excited about bearings for king pins. I guess I have forgotten about them since I have been running them for quite some time now. Never will I go back to a bushing.

I dont know if I was clear but I am only offering Ofna and XR/Wraith stubs on my site. This does not mean I cant do custom stuff though.

A lot of the idea behind these knuckles was not only to make things beefier like the bearings but it was also to help out all the guys who are stuck with axles that have no shafts. All you really need is a shaft that works with your axle and then I should be able to make the knuckle happen. A good example is all the Berg guys that have super 300 CVD's. There a a large amount of them that dont want to get rid of their shafts but at the same time they want Wraith chubs for the 8*. Now, all you need is the knuckles and chubs and I can make that happen.

Funny, just yesterday I was thinking I wanted to officially start up team Dlux. Trashy pants was the first guy I thought of and wanted him to be the leader. I was going to PM you and then I saw your signature. I am no longer motivated to do the team. Everybody please blame White Trash.

I've read his signature quite a few times and gotten a chuckle out of it.

The good news is that everybody can be on the team, no worries.

The bad news is that the economy is not going well so there will be no team discounts.

Free stickers and sound advice is perfect for me

[winnerone23]

Funny really.. I was goin to quote the same thing Ryan did and call, Bullsh!t.... Lol..

Yea I see how it is, everyone always blames the white guy and is soooo quick to throw them under the bus. Well I have news for you, I'm too fat to fit under there so you'll have to try harder than that!



I'd be far more motivated to play nice if I had some pink deezzz nuttzz stickers instead of these yellow ones that came with my knuckle bushings.


The c hubs I'm mentally designing are simple to be more basher friendly. Not to be super blingtastic like the comp stuff you build. MIP maxx axles use the same cv parts as the axial MIP drive lines so I have piles of parts already and the RPM knuckles solved my wheel bearing issues I was having with the stock stuff.

I'm just amped to have a set claimed!! I know all the right choices were made. Just have to set my stops and, oh, start planning a build. I don't have a chassis picked out for these yet. Thank you for all your hard work Erik! You are a huge part of the innovation of our sport.

Thanks man!

I thought you had a chassis picked? Or is that for another set of axles?

You're ok, I don't care what they say about you.



I'll be sure to request every hot pink sticker you have when I make my next order for housings, link mounts blah blah... Winning a free sucker punch chassis and wicked custom painted body in the 12 days after Christmas grand prize is going to cost me a fortune.

That fly v1 is going on my OG dlux axles. Our new bud Trav bought the dlux chassis n links. I was glad to get him started with killer stuff!

Got ya.

[Erik D_lux]

I am not quite sure who is responsible for this mod but its pretty cool and gives us all another option to adjust the height of our rig. So thanks!

This actually gets me a touch too low, which is great because I have been fighting getting this car as low as I want. Now, I can keep the upper mod and adjust height with the lower rod end.
