| Re: Dlux custom knuckles V2! No thank you Erik! .. .. these knuckles are a great ideas and good value. I got excited when I saw your "brass knuckles" for the first time I knew I needed a pair for a brand new 2.2 scale build.

For a 2.2, 16mm bearings is overkill. 16mm may even be overkill for supers and go fast cars but peace of mind on the supers and go fast means a lot too. I have never heard of anybody blowing a 16mm bearing. To put it in perspective, RC4wd used 12mm bearings for the Bully and not a ton of people had issues with those,... except me. | |

| Re: Dlux custom knuckles V2!
I did some checking and the LCC version would be easy enough to make. The only hurdle, which would be small, would be to figure out how to attach the knuckle arms to the c hub. It looks like it could be simply achieved by running a 4mm bolt through the arm and hub with a nut on top. I wont be planning on putting these on my website unless there is some demand. I would be happy to make a one off set for somebody though. |

On the Yeti knuckles and OFNA stubs, can you run an open front diff still or do you have to run a locker?

Erik, About to place an order for OFNA axles, aluminum hubs for Yeti. Any idea on how much weight is saved on the knuckle when you drill the slug holes? Trying to keep it as light as possible. Trying to decide if it is worth the $20 to have slug holes drilled to save weight up front. |

| Re: Dlux custom knuckles V2!
Good question! Looks like the slug holes save 7g per knuckle. I dont have a narrow one to check, but math says a non slug narrow 7075 OFNA knuckle is 27g, slug narrow 7075 20g. |

Yeah, I have stainless 0 offset. You can go to dluxfab.com/products --> axles/axle shafts ---> Ofna hubs Shows a picture of the delrin but 0 offset is an option when you buy. |

| Re: Dlux custom knuckles V2!
Hey, FYI, RC4wd is out of stock on shafts so that pretty much means I am also, until they get some more. With a .720 hub and 1/16 spacer on an Axial style stub shaft, you should be able to fit 5/6 .100 rings. Let me know if you have more questions. |
