I have very minimal up and dwn movement and even more minimal side to side from knuckle to c hub fitment. This is with strc stuff. I have much more play in the bearings! Might have to get some fasteddies!

i am running vp knuckles and chubs with arb diff covers with R2J links on the steering drag uppers lowers and i have no trouble at all hitting the diff covers even running xvds.....and to answer a statement a page back R2J links are awesome not saying nothing towards any other vendor that makes links because i have a complete ax10 the vp parts to the max and working towards the wraith. |

| Re: VP/STRC steering adaptability?
got my Rj2 links, they are great and offer more clearance than the VP links I have, also installed vp hubs, cms, and panhard kit, I will say those three items are nice, installed perfectly, and the fit is good. I did notice I will need to shim some items but I have had to shim many stock axles also....so no biggie for me. Im really looking forward to my build, Im going for a scaled crawler look.

you called it Made a set up tonight and they are definitely off. If I use the lower hole on the horn for the left hub it turns equal to the left, but still askew for the right turn. Easy links though so no real time or effort lost. here are some pics. | |

I ordered these Axial Wraith Steering Tierod Set tonight gonna remove the 13mm wideners too. Waaayyy too wide for me. The new beadlocks are perfect. And like ALL of you seasoned farts tried to tell me, the wheels have plenty of clearance at full lock with out em |

That suicide set up might work if you could somehow get the horn in the middle of the axle....are those pics with the wideners on? Also...is it the mini wideners from RC4wd? 13mm is a lot

| Re: VP/STRC steering adaptability?
ok guys, sorry for the delay in pics, since we have been talking I have added a few things to try and rid my steering/linkage woes. I ordered the vp knuckles and cms/panhard kit, the knuckles didnt help my rubbing on the xr10 wheels and the vp original linkage still rubbed. I ordered the R2j linkage kit and now I dont have the rubbing on the stock diff cover at full turn. I have ordered some hex extenders from Jfab designs that will space a few mm instead of 13mm, cant wait to get them. here are some pics. |

I contacted him via pm, he makes these for wraiths, and I got his last set that he had in stock, here is the thread of the ones for the 300 shafts, I dont think they will work on wraiths but its the same general idea. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/vendo...uper-300s.html |

hex extenders are perfect, just that little extra space for the tie rod ends the nuts just fit on the axle stubs. I will get pics later, but I can use my xr10 wheels now Jfab knocked these out of the park!!!!
