Will normal STRC knuckles work with curries?

[axial 4x4 crawler]

Hello,
I am doing another build with the brand new g6 falken rtr and I am wondering what to do. First off, I am getting curries for this and I was thinking, would normal aluminum STRC c-hubs/ knuckles work with the curries? If I get the regular axial aluminum steering kit, will that rub the pumpkin? I don't feel like getting VP knuckles because they require a better offset, so that's why. In the future I will be getting Locked-up-rc wheels with SLW hubs but for the time being, I just need to know if this set-up will work. Thanks in advance, - axial 4x4 crawler

P.S.- I am doing this scx10 build instead of the wraith build I planned on, for those that know about it, sorry for that.

Hah well no I don't know it all. I've never bought curries so I don't exactly know what knuckles to get. Yeah thanks for the help...

I comped with stock chubs ang knuckles on my curries once coz i had to use borrowed wheels and you know how it is with the offset. I guess strc would work the same as stock.

Ohh okay, thanks man. What wheels were you using? Just curious. I'm going to be using the stock rims for now until I can get decent beadlocks. Also, What tie rod were you using? I'm assuming it's the VP tie rod..???

if you run Currie you need a atlest a 450hub...

Yeah I think stock wheels will be very close to the knuckles, might get some tire sidewall rub.

If your Dropping the Coin on a Set of Currie Housings go the full nine yards and buy a Vanquish Stage One kit while your at it.

STRC hop ups on a Currie Housings it'll look Awfull.

Ahh okay, I think about getting different rims. Either VP or locked up rc with a 450 hubs.

Honestly that's what I have been thinking..
The STRC finish will stick out & that AL will be a weak point on your axles with VP Curries.
Seems counter intuitive.

You will find few people with feedback on that combo for that very reason.
Who goes to Wal-Mart to put plastic spinners on their Dana 60's?

Ha well alright, I'm already spending a lot but I see what you're saying. Btw I'm not buying a stage 1 kit, its a waste of money because I won't need the lockouts. There integrated with the rear axle. Although I'm thinking about getting the chubs and knuckles from VP but..what's so wrong with STRC? There decent quality.

Yeah..well I'll think about getting those high clearance knuckles and chubs but I'll need better wheels. Ahh, this is going to be so damn expensive..oh well. So..I'll need the hi-clearance VP chubs and knuckles, VP wheels with a 450 hubs and then unglue the stock tires to mount on the VP rims. Do you think the stock power plant will be good? I've used the axial 27t for a long time and I know that if there geared right they can be decent but I plan on running this rig at Axial Fest 2015.

[axial 4x4 crawler]

Btw I'll get 475 hubs, I'll pick out the rims to get and update you guys with an official parts list..give me a little time though lol.

I personally would not count on a stock axial can holding up.
There are many economical, rebuild able brushed motors you can clean & inspect the brushes & comm. I have run the same Novak 55T on 3s for quite a while now & I am sold on the dependability & the price.
If I had more $$ & less needs in front of a new motor I would be running a Holmes with my trusty Novak as a back up.
Look at the machine wound 27T motors from Holmes, Novak, Tekin, etc.
If it is rebuild able it is maintainable. Those stock motors are designed to fail quick & be thrown away.

This is not a race or competition.
It is easy to get the fever & try to keep up with some of these guys on here.
Build what makes you happy, don't let the lure of keeping up with the Harleys empty your wallet & jade you on a fun hobby.

Keep in mind we are a community of the full range of RC Crawlers.
Some have unlimited $$ & no skills.
Some have unlimited skills & no $$$.
We all fit & belong as long as we keep crawling fun & interesting.

Look at me, I have hardly any build threads or tech & a HUGE mouth & they have not kicked me to the curb



















yet

You buy the full kit and then sell the Rear Lock Outs

It offsets the cost

yeah I see what you're saying. I'm not trying to keep up with Harley but I do take a few tips from him. I'm not like Harley, don't have a huge ass fabrication shop or the money that he does. If I want to make something, I have to use a damn dremel and make very un accurate cuts..but oh well. I'm defiantly building this to make me happy, not to impress the high ranked members on here. To be honest, I never really followed any of Harley's build threads for the simple fact that everyone falls for it..if you know what I mean. I'm just building this for the fun of this hobby, I want a true scaler and this build will get me there. I agree with you a 100%
