| Knuckles and Chubs
What exactly is the difference between Vanquish knuckles & chubs and the STRC ones that RPP sells? There seems to be a considerable $ difference?

STRC - XR10 based w/ the extra arms on the knuckles (don't need 4 the wraith, but they still work (I have the VP) Vanquish - quality, fit & finish, and geared specifically for the wraith, plus the kicker of very good customer service/support |

"Good customer service/support" is only necessary when something goes wrong with the product. Has anyone had problems with STRC knuckles or C-hubs? I guess I'm old school. Well, certainly old. Why pay for a Cadillac when a Buick does the job? |

I beat the hell out of my STRC knuckles and c-hubs. They have held up great. As for them having the extra set of arms, look at them as a mechanical steering stop. They help to keep from oversteering and binding up the joint on the axle shafts.

I have STRC hubs, knuckles and rear lockouts and they are flawless so far. I bought them from Stormer hobbies.. They have the best prices on this sort of stuff. I think it was around $24.99 for each pair. Plus their shipping is awesome, especially for me being in Canada. They only ever charge me $8.99 shipping when other companies rip me off with crazy $25 shipping on 1/4 oz padded envelope. I shop around and look for the best prices and I couldn't justify $39.99 for the same parts as another company sells for $24.99.. I'm sure the $39.99 part is great quality, but everything I've ever owned from STRC has been great too. Sent from my highly abused iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have the STRC links, Chubs, and knuckles on mine and haven't had a problem at all plus I saved some $$. I have used STRC on other kits and never been disappointed. I used the Vanquish steering because it seemed to be far superior to any others that I saw. reference pic Last edited by zyphon68; 11-12-2011 at 05:19 PM. |
