Knuckle Weights

[Erik D_lux]

How far off was it from working? Did it look like you could modify it?

[Aggie01]

The round part of the knuckles is larger in diameter and the flat part on the top and bottom is wider. It wouldn't take a whole lot to get them on. I have VP high steers now, so it really wouldn't be worth hacking up my weights.

If you like running your knuckles behind the axle these RCBros 0 ackerman are the way to go though. I'm sure there are plenty of guys running them that would love to get some of your weights.

I received mine a couple of days ago. The fitment and finish is second to none. I'm very impressed.

Thanks DLux,

Mike

OK I'm a duma$$. You prob. posted it already, but anyway. How much are they with shipping.

[Erik D_lux]

No problem. I have all the info consolidated in the vendors section.

Berg/Axial Knuckle weights

Let me know if that does not answer your questions.

Well I wanted to take some pics Saturday at our comp but did not bring my camera but RCHuffer was nice enough to take a few. I figured I would post one up where you can see the knuckle weight and the D-Lux sticker on the side. Thanks again Erik for a outstanding product. I definitely could tell the difference between the knuckle weight and running lead weight in the tires.

How long before they are available again?

[bigjeff1313]

Do you still have any in stock? If not, are you gonna make more? If you do, how long will it take to get them cut?

Thanks for the picture and the sticker! Looks great!

I hope to have more instock by the end of this week. Keep an eye on this thread or the thread in the vendors section.

I ordered a set a couple of weeks ago and received them in a couple of days. Great service and fast shipping. They worked so well, I won our local comp on Sunday. Great product! Thanks!

[Erik D_lux]

Thanks to William (RCbros) I got an RCbro AL knuckle to work with and see what it would take to make them work.

The really good news is that the width of the bearing area and the width of the body of the knuckle are dead on, perfect fit. The overall knuckle is a touch shorter which does not actually hurt the fit but, it will leave a small gap above and below the knuckle.

The only part that does not fit is the steering arm. It is lower than the other knuckles that the weights currently work with. This should be really easy to modify with common tools such as a dremel. It should only take 5 min or so also.

If you look at this picture you will see that the profile of the knuckle is right on and would slip right in if it were not for the arm.



Here is a couple other pictures to show what would need to be removed. If you cut away until half the screw hole is removed you would be set. Fitting a screw in that hole is not necessary. It is just nice for tuning.







If somebody has been waiting for a set that will work with the RCbros knuckles I would be happy to make the first pair to show everybody how easy it is. Send me a PM and we can work it out when I get the next batch of weights in this week.

Couldn't have come at a better time. I was thinking of changing knuckles but not any more I have been running rcbros knuckles for a while now on my berg. But I only run .225 hubs what hubs would I need?

[Erik D_lux]

You only want to run 225 hubs or youre looking to change? The 225's would really limit how much weight you can put on. If you were to run atleast a 475 hub you could run .500 worth of rings and the large steel ring. That would give you approx 4.4oz of brass and 3.4oz of steel, 7.7oz total.

Let me know if you need more help. I should have some with me out at the comp next week too.

Here is what i found. On a .7 wheel and 350 hub with standard VP knuckles you can run the knuckle weight a 300 and a 100 plus the steel ring. With the 475 hub on the .7's you could probably run 2 300's instead of 1 plus the knuckle and steel ring.

On 1" with 350 hub you can run knuckle weight a 300 and 100.
1" with 475 hub you can run knuckle weight and 2 300's
1" with 600 hub you will be able to fit the steel ring plus all the brass but you might have to notch the steel ring a little where it meets the knuckle.

[HTRDDZL]

I currently run .225 hubs but could prob go wider. If I make it to the comp I will get with ya.

[treday619]

Stuck what is the total weight running .475 hubs with knuckle weight and 2x .300?

On the .7's I get 10.8oz

On the 1" I get 11.3oz

That is tire,foam,SLW,hub and weights.
It will vary a little depending on tire/foam set up

Finally got round to taking some pictures of this mounted up, top work as always from Erik

[Erik D_lux]

Looks great! Thanks for taking pictures.
