Default Knuckles or links next?

I'm in the process of upgrading my RR10 and am debating whether to upgrade to a VP Incision steel link kit or go with a set of Vanquish knuckles.

My upgrades so far are:
  • Hitec 7954 steering servo w/Axial aluminum horn,
  • Axial aluminum C-hubs
  • Inexpensive aluminum steering links (that would be replaced by the links in the Incision kit)
  • SSD beadlocks and Pitbulls.

Any recommendation on whether to go with links or knuckles next?

Also agree, links first. Question though, you guys recommend the SS links over TI links for any reason other than price?

Good weight down low for more stability and lower overall COG, slick over rocks (Ti is too), cheaper, stronger than 3/16 inch Ti. Basically it's a better overall choice for less cash especially for a crawler. If weight is a concern, Ti is the better choice.

Thanks all. Links are bought and installed. By the way, I'm VERY impressed by the Incision links.

They're good, but you definitely need to Loctite the decorative bolts (in my case 20 per wheel) or they will fall out immediately.
