Default Superclass Knuckle Weights

BMRC Super Knuckle Weights for Superclass Crawlers


The base or mount is made from lightweight aluminum and the weights are made from leaded brass and powdercoated black to prevent turning green. Our goal was to use a stackable weight system to keep the weight lower than anyone else has been able to do in the past with bullet weights.

i'm just getting into the super class stuff. i really like the size and capability and will be building a rig to test new products. i thought i would start with a chassis, knuckle weights and then whatever else you guys want.

A knuckle weight system for use on Supers with the Wraith knuckles would be nice too.

What about for vp 8 degree ax10 knuckles ? I have the bigron knuckle weights but would really like a more thinner weight system like this to give a more wide range to what hubs and rig width I can run....

Yessir most of the XR supers are running Wealth parts and a handful of Bergs are.

The issue I have with my setup is just how far the weight have to be offset to put them as close to the face of the wheels and as low as possible.

Here's a pic from JeremyH's build showing what I'm talking about. Of course he's running the Ax-10 8* knuckles but I believe we're both running the same amount of hub offset.

it was my intention that customers would stack plates until they hit the wheel. for extreme offset hubs i suppose spacers could be used to push the weights out.

the first ones were made for a customer using 3" ID wheels.

this is a new/developing product and i had planned to make the first few sets custom so i'm really not concerned about the diameter, i can easily make them to fit whatever wheel you are using.
