Use those, if using the stock knuckles you need to trim them down a bit, but I strongly suggest these: High steer knuckles

Whoodie, how bad is it?

I have 2 sets of DNA Snipers, one has a bit different ring than the other. One is a bit thicker causing a possible problem, the other has been slimmed some.

I'd like to get these, but afraid they'll hit like the CKRC ones did...

When we were at Midwest, Steve@VP had a few of us try out the knuckles. They work great if you have his wheels, everyone who had berg offset DNA wheels could not get the rim fully seated against the hex. I will get 86jeep to try them out this weekend, he has a few different DNA Berg wheels. I'll report back in this thread after I find out.

if you use the VP knuckles you will need the AX-10 bushings because they are taller

ok, well in the mean time i'll have plenty of spare enroute bushings. i imagine the axial ones can probably be found at some of the local hobby shops here in vegas.

these are the axial ones right?

HPI and Axials can be interchanged for what it matters.

I need some more bass Berg ones...time to go hit up A-Main.

i used jammin crt.5 bushings when i found out the ckrc high steer knuckles were to tall for the stock berg bushings, had to grind them and combine them with the bergs. they work great though same diameter as the bergs
