They absolutely make good parts. I have been running there parts on my other Rc's with no problems. Only thing I have heard bad, is the diff covers get smashed, so maybe just keep the stock ones or look into something more proven in that department.

Good in my book, my current Wraith is loaded with parts from them.

The STRC parts that I have purchased have all been good quality. I have used STRC's shock caps and shock bodies on my second Wraith. I have also bought STRC knuckles,c-hubs and shock mounts for my Exo and they have all worked well. The STRC parts survived the Exo hitting the bed rock sticking out of the sand at the beach. They do stand up to punishment but that is another story. |

I have chubs, knuckles, lock-outs,tie rods,axle trusses and diff covers. I have had no issues with any of them and the fit is excellent!!!! I think they make a great product for the cost.

I tossed my STRC chubs and knuckles in the trash. They were sloppy like crazy on the axles and the tires were wobbling all over. Put in VP and they are 1000 times better in fit and finish. I like all their other partss but chubs and lockouts.

I have STRC Exo C-hubs and knuckles on the front of the IFS. There's some slop in them, and I should be able to shim it out, but I'm not sure it's a fault of the knuckles. I've read about people shimming VP stuff too. Maybe I'm just picky or something.  |

I had an issue with a lip on the bigger bearing side of a knuckle ...just one side though, I had to dremel it out before it would seat properly...haven't purchased any more of their product.

Just what I hearted. The tools do aton of cuts. VP housing isn't showing great reviews and that's one place it shows

Sounds to me like they might have issues with their metal axles | |

| Re: STRC Parts??
I had STRC on my Wraith before I got all of the VP stuff. It seemed to be pretty decent and functioned as it should for the 2 months it was installed. Although there is more play within the knuckles and c-hubs than there is with my VP stuff. I could grab the tire and wobble it a good 1/8-maybe even 1/4" and watch the knuckle rock on the c-hub. That's one of the reasons I swapped to VP. Very minimal play. But on a limited budget or the until I can afford VP budget, STRC is the way to go. Decent quality at a decent price.

I bought a second hand wraith and it has upgraded Chubs and knuckles. They look like STRC but is there any way to tell exactly?
