VP Yeti Knuckles

[zjguy721]

So, will the VP Yeti knuckles fit an EXO? Same c-hubs, right?
I'm just thinking it would allow use of 2.2 wheels on the EXO instead of having to use 2.2/3.0 ones.

The "Yeti" knuckles are the same knuckles they produced for the EXO. They do not have the same reconfigured arm but do clear the stock wheels from what I am told.

the only true 2.2 wheels I've found that will work on Vp's EXO hubs,
without a huge offset are,
Vp's true scale 2.2 & Vp's method 2.2 wheels - even with small offset Vp hubs

I would think they would have to clear the stock wheels to sell them as "Yeti" knuckles. I know I need to run a pretty big offset to run the VP wheels on my EXO.

If you look at the VP website product image, it is the same arm configuration as the Exo, and it says "yeti/exo" in the description. The stock wheels have a pretty big offset hub and the "method" style backside which does not have a inner beadlock ring, so I have no doubt the Exo knuckle would clear a stock wheel.

It's been a little while, anyone got a picture of the wheel/arm clearance on these? (preferably with the popular .225 SLW/stock wheel combo)

i had to use 475 hubs with my KMC HD 2.2 Vanquish rims, Made the truck handle better

225 w vp knuckles/method 105's.

Take a look at my build thread, theres some pics of mine using .225 hubs, Methods 105s and Carter Fab 1" cans.

Anyone have shots of the CI 6 bolts clearance?

Not sure I'd run narrow, since I'll be racing more, but would be nice to know. I'm waiting on Foams and Tires to mount and was unsure if I should buy the VP Knuckles

My Yeti has stock wheels, VP knuckles and 225 hubs up front. Wheel hits knuckle. Fixed it with a little lathe action to the wheel. 325 hubs clear. I used the shorter to narrow the truck a touch and match what I already had for the rear.

[Jethrobodean]

About how much did you have to chamfer the wheel? Been considering that anyways for some potential tighter turning.

Kinda eyeballed it, but probably a good .080" to .100". Gave ample clearance.
