There are a couple people who make them for VP wraith knuckles. They are a simple plate that bolts to the unused arm area. Then you bolt brass to that. I can't remember the name though. Just search, the XR section would be an easy place to find it. Lots of us are using Wraith knuckles.

Tomy at Nordic Crawler Designs makes them. They are awsome! Super easy to put on and adjust.

For other options you can look at vp xr knuckle weights if you are not opposed to running xr knuckles. Or check out Blue Monkey rc, they have weights that work on xr and wraith knuckles

Thanks folks, does the xr Knuckles work on the wraith? And does the Xr Vp weights work on the Vp wraith knuckles?

The VP weights for the XR will not work on the Wraith knuckles due to the difference in steering arm configurations between the XR and Wraith knuckles.

Check RCBros in the vendor section.

DlUx can also modify his current XR KW system to fit the VP Wraith knuckles. I run them on my sporty, and if you favor a heavy KW setup, this is the way to go as the base KW is about the same as 2 full fat rings of the RcBros design, but since it sits over the knuckle flush to the back of the hex, you can still add more rings to really get the bias and CG down and forward.

I've been using the RCBro's system on my PSC Wraith. Nice little setup.

I have two sets of rcbros knuckle weight systems. One on my comp xr and the other on my wraith. They simple and easy to use. Great price also

There are obviously tons of ways to add weight. Getting the weight to the outside of the axle will have the biggest effect on suspension characteristics due to the physics of a 4-link.

Do the RCBros knuckle weight holders bolt onto the stock plastic wraith knuckles?

No, Vanquish Wraith knuckles only, the non-scale versions.

There is a possibility that you could make some spacers to raise up the mount in the front to work, but it would only mount on one side.

This Kit? Vanquish VPS06511 Stage One Kit or will the other RCbros the RBKW100 work on the stock plastic Wraith knuckle? The RBKW100 has only one tab on it to attach it to the knuckle. Also if I do spend the extra cash on the Vanquish knuckles what are the advantages to the upgrade other than being able to weight the knuckles? Just curious.
Nice video by the way.

Blue monkey offers a kit that fits axial plastic and aluminum knuckles. I have there kit for vanquish knuckles on my wraith. Very nice products.

Found a nice video on the Vanquish site explaining the knuckles and C-hubs. Not sure yet if I will get the stage one kit, or just the knuckles. My main goal is to add the weight to the knuckles and take the weight out of my wheels.
