Default Aluminum Knuckles and C Hubs?

Anyone making aluminum knuckles and c hubs for the these yet? I've seen a few brass pieces here and there but I'm shooting to keep mine as light and nimble as possible.

I would think the aluminum C-hubs would be coming soon. I'd like to see some myself. The brass stuff is so expensive.

Yep, if you go through the Free Mod and Upgrade topic you will find the options.

I've got a set of the SSD knuckles on mine. Very nicely machined plus change to a slightly larger outer bearing. You can also buy SSD universals and get a little more steering angle.

Unless I'm missing something, all options discussed in that thread are brass. Per the title of this thread, I'm looking for aluminum options to keep it light.

Thanks for your input though, I may end up going the SSD brass route if I can't find aluminum options soon.

You could try the hard plastics instead while you wait for aluminum ones to be made. It's actually really hard stuff, so it should hold you over.

Yes, you are right, it is going so fast with aftermarket options beeing added. Getting hard to keep up. But I am sure aluminum option will be available soon.

If you don't mind putting in some work, the 10.2 C-Hubs bolt right up to the Enduro axles. the only thing is the C-Hub tabs are a little taller than the Element ones. If you're still using the plastic knuckles it isnt an issue, they just fit really tight (which i prefer over the ridiculous slop they had out of the box) or you could file down the outside edges to make it fit. i put a set of SSD C-Hubs on my truck almost immediately. and haven't had any issues.

We will have Enduro specific aluminum C hubs out in the next couple of weeks.

Excellent, I knew it would only be a matter of time! I have considered the brass options but I'm really happy with how my Enduro kit is performing right now, I hate to mess with it too much by adding a bunch of weight. The aluminum keeps it light but tough. Has there been much of a consensus on if brass weighted knuckles and hubs help performance? Obviously most of it is down to driver preferences and driving style, just curious though if there's any definitive difference found in climbing and sidehilling ability.
