|  Wraith wheel weights
What are the best weights to get for a wraith mine is set up for crawling but has no weight that's down low I'm thinking of getting both wheel weights and knuckle weights but don't know what brands to look at in terms of quality and overall weight

Get some steel or brass axle tubes before weighing down the wheels...

RC Bros knuckles and beef tubes on stock axles.  Make sure your foams can handle the extra weight, mine are just about right, great grip.  Hang up and Drive |

Dlux knuckles are the way to go. A set with brass upper and lower arms is over half a pound of unsprung, nonrotating weight plus the benefits of larger, more durable axles bearings, no slop kingpin bearings, and improved steering geometry. The Dlux knuckles with a set of axle tubes can get you some serious weight, this is the setup for the front axle of my SCX10 rebuild. The original front axle with some Vanquish steering parts weighed in at 7 oz as a comparison.  |

I took a look at his page and expected those knuckles to be a lot more expensive. They look to be very well made. Kinda wish someone made ones that would work with my Vanquish scale ones. I don't like having to run weight in my rims but I'm kinda limited with my options.
