Default Modded VP knuckles. BIG BEARINGS

Missed this one too!

Remember when all axle housings only had 11mm bearings? What a pain! They constantly failed and frequently took the ring and pinion with them.

I suppose you could say I am trying to lead the RC movement of making bearing bigger everywhere. Other manufactures took note after I did the bearing mods on the inner bearings for the housings, maybe this will push them to do it in the knuckles also?

I am now selling Vanquish modded knuckles (standard Wraith and Scale versions) that use the Wraith/XR stub shaft.

They are modded to use the biggest bearings possible. 10x16 inner, 5x12 outer. Stock is 10x15 inner, 5x11 outer. This may not seem like a huge difference but trust me, it is.

These are only going to be stocked in the "raw" finish. I can do colors but when I put them in my jig, they can get scratched really easy so I want to avoid them if possible. If you do want a specific color, cant wait for me to get them and dont mind some scratches, let me know and I can get it done.

I am putting these on my site now at Dlux Fab I should be able to start shipping on Monday.

Yeah, I am overloaded. LOL. I typically answer messages between 5-8am MST M-F. Sorry, I am not able to be online the rest of the time, its just not possible to do and get anything else done.

Sorry, it does not work out to have people send in their knuckles. Good luck.
