Default XR - Wraith NO SLOP king pin bushings

After coming out with the no slop bushings for the Berg/AX10/SCX10 I was constantly asked about XR/Wraith bushings. Now that I have a Wraith, it was a bit easier to talk me into it.

Again, I am proud to say that this is 100% made in the USA from start to finish.

These bushings are precisely made to remove all the slop that the stock bushings give.

Important notes:
The bushings are made to work with the stock stainless steel screws. If you use a different brand stainless screw, aluminum screw, steel screw etc,. you may find some will not even fit or be sloppy.

Your knuckles must be in GREAT shape. Any burrs or gouges can cause the bushings to not fit correctly.

I can only guarantee the tolerances of these bushings. If the tolerances are off on the knuckles or C's from other manufacturers these may not fit correctly.

Verified to fit:
Mainly designed to fit VP knuckles and chubs. This will be your best fit with the bushings overall. Nice and tight.

I found that the stock plastic will be a tiny bit sloppy. The bushings will eliminate all the back and forth/side to side play but they have different tolerances than the VP stuff so there is a bit of play up and down, about .010 which is not much. These are still a great upgrade over stock even when using the plastic stock knuckles and Chubs.

I also put these together with STRC chubs and plastic knuckles. The fit was about the same as with plastic chubs and knuckles. I have not fit these to STRC knuckles yet.

Go to my website to purchase. They are under the XR10/Wraith section.

$9 gets you enough for one axle or two knuckles.

International I am offering these with CHEAP shipping. It will only be $3. This will NOT give a tracking number OR insurance. If they dont show up that is how it goes. Sorry. If you do not like those odds contact me and we can get a quote for tracking numbers and insurance.

No problem. Here they are mounted in my VP knuckles

..and a little D_lux bling on the hood

Can't remember the brand of C-hubs though, but they fit perfectly on them too When I opened the package and set them next to the stock bushings, the difference was clear. MUCH tighter tolerances on your bushings. I am using aftermaket stainless screws and the fit is still nice and snug. Knuckles move freely and there is no slop in the kingpins.

Nice! Great to know!

I really appreciate the support with the sticker! That orange and silver look sweet. Might have to think about using those colors on my car.

I just placed a CONUS order for these and the shipping charge was $3, not much I know, I just assumed these could ship locally for the cost of a stamp.

Thanks,
Nate

Thanks for the order Nate.

You could ship for a couple of stamps and the cost of the envelope but its not worth saving a buck and not having tracking.

Understood, thanks for the quality parts. Hope you keep your Wraith and keep it on its diet, its really cool to see you squeeze grams out of it.

Some of the VP parts have different tolerances than the majority. This is why I cannot guarantee the fit. I can only guarantee my parts and their tolerances. Sorry.
