Chubs don't last forever...

[sic1to]

First breakage today on the trail!

Snapped both ends on up hill climb

I just replaced it with stock for now!

[TacoCrawler]

looks like yer in the market for alloy C-hubs

I broke several of the factory plastic C-hubs/Knuckles...
and without hammering on them...
was simply fatigue.

But I have yet to break my Axial alloy C-hubs/Knuckles.
and I've hammered them well

But if ya don't beef up that plastic axle housing...
it's gonna break there next time. Lol

Beef Tubes

I got a set of beef tubes waitin & just ordered axial chubs! I decided to give em a try I have had or use everything else, I'm really liking the axial high clearance knuckles!

you might want further clarification...
as I thought those knuckles have some interference issues
when running 2.2's or XL tall 1.9's

I personally prefer the 8* clockable C-hubs and std knuckles.
even tho' I only roll wee 4.3" 1.9's

The capability of clocking the front axle
can assist in reducing drive shaft/pinion angle
while maintaining the proper negative caster to the knuckles.

So do your homework... before you buy

[Hammer!]

while my scx10 was stock i never broke one part... then again it was only stock for a couple of days lol.

Im not sure what interference issues your talkin about???? the VP knucles have issues with rubbing the tire because they come straight out instead of Axials that are pointed inward for clearance.

I understand the clocking of axle & caster! I have VP 8* hubs with VP high clearance knuckles on another scx & scx with D60 axles narrowed of course with wraith scale VP(clockable)chubs & XR knuckles.

The G6 that I got is kinda getting parts as needed(when they break) or if I just prefer upgrades immediately Im running rc4wd panhard cms with 3 link, Axial high clearance knuckles. Axial chubs that are clockable on the way because STRC chubs that I have not gonna work with my pinion clocked the way it is I changed it with 3 link for better angle.

HOMEWORK DONE BELIEVE ME!!!

so it's solely the VP hi-steer knuckles that can have interference issues ?

and the Axial Hi-steer knuckles don't have similar issue ?

are they the Axial Hi-steer knuckles that have the removable S arm ?

possibly you can share the Axial part # you're using ?

Axial Aluminum Knuckle, Black (2)
Axial Aluminum C Hub Carrier, Black (2)

VP is only that Im aware of that need wideners or wider VP hubs???
The Axial knuckles work with stock offset or the widest tires you wanna run!


Hope this helps! You can see the differance between the two

Those VP ones are zero ackermann, They uses to sell the stock replacement ones, but I don't see them on their site anymore.
