Default Knuckle weights

I'm having trouble finding any knuckle weights for my wraith I know vanquish makes a set for xr10 but they are fairly pricy. Is there a cheaper solution out there or is this my only option. I am trying to go with 70% of my weigh up front and I don't want to add weights to the inside of the tire as it will stress the drive tran. Any help would be appreciated thank you

Check out bluemonkey rc. Depending on what knuckles you run they have some good stuff.

And if you really want to get crazy, you can upgrade to the OFNA style stub shaft. Now you can have huge bearings, a huge stub shaft, an unbreakable hex pin. This is on top of all the other benefits. Its really a step towards a bulletproof front end AND the weight of the knuckles is just a bonus.




The bearing I run is all the way on the left.

If you want to run with the big boys, you need to upgrade your stub shafts. However, my knuckles give even the stock shafts a bigger bearing, just not huge.

You go from a 10x15 inner and 5x11 outer to a 10x16 inner and 5x13 outer on my knuckles. It may not seem like a ton but it will add a lot of reliability in the bearing area.
