|  First time quality build
So I bough a deadbolt and soon recognized it was not going to stay stock for long, I put together a list and started setting my paypal on fire. Here is the list: Vp titanium 12.3 inch links Vp 8 degree knuckles and c hubs Ssd cvd (already broke) Vanquish vvd hd front shafts Savox monster torque servo Axial servo horn Vp servo clamps G made diaphragm and airation 93mm shocks The scale shop scx Hr chassis Axial machined trans gears A Holms hobbies crawlmaster 13 turn pro And castle bec for the servo This is my second axial, I had a wraith and went cheap on the parts and it bit me so this time I am doing a quality job and buying nice parts.  |

Does anybody know if you are supposed to grease the knuckle bushing on the vp 8 degree knuckles ? I did with some moly gear lube Andre it attracted grime and now the knuckles have some slop. Thanks

PIck up a set of VP brass knuckle bushings, cheaper than buying another set of knuckles. No need to lube them.

That is the thing I bought the brass knuckle bushings and did the grease. I also am very ocd. Do you experience any wobble when the tire is installed like 1/8 of an inch?

The VP knuckle bushings are OK, better than stock but that's about it. If you want to remove all play from the knuckles, get the Dlux or Locked Up knuckle bushings.
