disagree !!
if the bottom was made from metal, it should be work fine

one bolt on the bottom as a king pin,
most all C hubs use only "one" bolt on the bottom for the steering hub
(upper & lower king pins)
use a traxxas hub bolt !!

good idea

Yes but that bolt goes the Horizontal and I have broken those. You don't think one hard hit or jump would rip it right out?

it is on a slash. im just using the pede arm guards.


personally i dont feel as though it would break. i mean you could, anything can be broken. but if it where metal it would just transfer the force to the arm and break the arm instead.

if you want i will make you some and you can test it out on your build. just get a hold of me when you start it and i will make them for you.

Sweeeeeeet!!!!!!! Lol ya I can so it fits inside of the slash arms? Hell I think you just found a new market for people and ifs lol

Does the rs4 also just have one screw going through the bottom like that one does in the pic?

[Gen3_Teg_88]

yeah. its just with the rs4 knucles the top and bottom holes are concentric and the 4-tec arms are offset. though come to think about it i dont thing the traxxas ujoints will clear the rs4 knuckle. anywhoo the 4 tec ones work fine.

well iwas going to build a ifs rig but got caught up in other things and i bought a crt.5 . it is a 1/8 scale buggy scaled down so every thing is
beefy and you can use stander 2.2 wheels . you can get the wheel base
aroun9.5 to 10 and up from there. it will be going up for sale so keep your eyes open.

If you do use Slash 4x4 front make sure to up grade to the Alum steering kit. WOW it like a hole new truck

How much of a difference is the width of the slash compare to the axial axle? I remember seeing it but can't find it

[Gen3_Teg_88]

i will check for ya later today(i have both)

[Gen3_Teg_88]

4x4 is around 10'' from hex to hex and the axial is like 7.5''


sorry it took so long....totally forgot.

[demonoid369]

That's fine, just means I'll use a wraith axle instead for the rear lol

[Gen3_Teg_88]

yup. wraith axle would work great. the first thing i said to my co-worker when we got one in was "man. there is going to be a lot of desert truck builds with this axle" it works well with SC/DT.i would but i lack time and money....mostly money, lol.
