Question Which do you have High clearance or Normal knuckles

I just made links for my Deadbolt scx10 so my Mojave body would fit it. I have also made metal steering links and figure before to long when the plastic ones break I'll be getting aluminum Chubs and knuckles. I understand the high clearance knuckles pick the steering link up to get it out of the way when approaching obstacles. I'm just wondering which is being used by other members with more time and experience than myself, and which brand you prefer?

I tried the high clearance knuckles once but had trouble with the links with the servo on the axle. I abandoned the idea altogether and have just used regular aluminum knuckles since with great success.

I've never once wished that the drag link was higher. It's just never been a problem for me

As for brands. I've had good luck with hot racing knuckles. Also axial but they have gotten a little expensive lately.

you pretty much need a CMS with the high clearance knuckles to have the link clearance
