Wow, nice lights...all of them! Like your narrow width with those wheels and 0.225" hubs! Did the bent links eliminate the rub at full steering? How bad was the rub? Assuming it was just on the lower links...

Thx on the lights...was on CAD until 12:30AM again last night...more cool stuff is coming!

The hub situation is actually a real pisser...
- .225" hubs with universals and stock links rub bad!
- .225" hubs with universals and bent links rub even worse!
- .350" hubs with bend links and universals rub bad!

Apparently the only solution is .475" hubs! Just what I wanted to do is spend another $30 and have another set of hubs laying around idle. Be warned...!

Thx for the info....wider Wraith is NOT what I want! Did you try turning the lower links 90 degrees...I've seen them run two different ways with the way the bends line up. Pics?

I tried turning the lower front links by 90 deg but then I get some binding in the suspension and they still rub a bit at full lock. I'm planning on .475"s up front and keeping the .350"s in the rear....

idk whats different with your wraith and mine, but I'm running the same wheels on .225 hubs and don't have issues with my links..
I still have the "bumpstops" on the back of my knuckles. So I would assume that is why I dont hit the links with my tires. I'm also running the .700 slw v2 wheels. Not the 1in slw v2's.

.7's should definitely rub less than 1's. Do you run Axial universals? What tires you have?

Yes Im running the axial universals and I am running the tsl boggers. Look at my build thread and see.
Even with the 1in ones I dont see why they would rub.
