Get VPs and then you will have stronger and better looking steering knuckles.

That rear arm hanging off the back of the knuckle may not look great but it does it's job of stopping the steering from going too far and taking out a servo if you bind up the steering.

It doesn't stop the steering at all. I was steering the tires into the shocks and adjusted it back.

I don't see anything bad the do I just thought the look horrible but really what good are they

They are a re-use of an old design, those are the same knuckles for the XR10 that utilizes bta steering.

ive thought about trying to use them for BTA on the wraith, but doesnt seem to be enough clearance with the shock/link mounts. it may be possible but will take some creativity.

i also wonderd about behind the axle steering but it seemed like one of those things that would take more time then its worth specialy since it steers pretty dang well outfrount.

i made steering links out of delrin, kind of bulky but strong, the tie rod tends to rotate on the rod ends and hang down after running awhile. hangs up on stuff occasionally.
