Exclamation Knuckle Weights

I am going to start working on some knuckle weights and see if it is possible.


I could use some help from you guys. Could you let me know:

#1
Which steering knuckle would you like to see them made for?

#2
For those running Vanquish type wheels, what size hub are you running?

#3
How much weight do you run total in each tire/wheel/weight combo?

#4
Add in any other info that could be helpful.

1) Vanquish knuckles, though mad to fit stock should be an easy enough mod to fit VP

2) 335 hubs on DH's, 350 hubs on SLW's and will have 470 hubs on DH II's soon.

3) I add anywhere between 2 and 6 oz per wheel depending on terrain

4) nothing else to add at this point, though I am not the boxes bright crayon.

VANQUISH!!!

#2-4

Some run SLW's with 225's and wider, others run DH's and DH2's. I think your same plan of attack that you used with your LCC knuckles would be ideal, make them fit the narrowest offset wheels (225 hubs on slw's) and then let people add as many plates as they can clear or want to run.

I sure am glad your looking into this I was hoping you would as soon as I saw your LCC knuckles.

I hope you are able to incorporate the outer ring as well into whatever you come up with. Also, I know your Losi threads seem to get a lot more attention then this thread has so far. Most of the guys on here probably don't know what you have contributed to the Losi and is capabilities. Plus there are no team guys like Jake running knuckle weights, so their concept might be a little newer here. So what I'm saying is please get these things out! Lol

You're the cool guy who made the set for Rubba's losi right?

VP knuckles all the way, and adjustable weights between like 3-8oz? if its practical

Thanks for the good words...

Hopefully we will be able to see what we can do in a couple of weeks. Looks like there is not much backspaced being used so it will be tight for sure.

I am not too worried about demand. If its anything like what they do for the LCC all it will take is one guy to purchase and see the results.
