Vanquish, buy once, cry once.

All 3 are good options. Vanquish have a better design imo and are less than axial aluminum. STRC is just a stock replica in aluminum.

I have several trucks, some with Axial, some with Vanquish, and some with STRC parts. Mostly knuckles and C-hubs.


In my experience the STRC parts hold up just as well at a fraction of the price of "greater" brands. Not to say that all STRC parts are great, just that I know from experience that their Axial line of knuckles and C-hubs, for both the SCX and XR/Wraith, are quality parts.

It always bugs me how new bearings just fall into place on vanquish knuckles. Not exactly the snug fit I would expect, I mean the bearings fit better in the stock plastic knuckles.

No matter what brand knuckles/c-hubs you get make sure you put Dlux zero slop kingpin bushings in. By taking the slop out you are maximizing contact between the knuckle and kingpin friction surface which slows down wear on the knuckle over time, thus preserving your investment.

That made me go hmmm. But good! i have those bushings in my knuckles now!

Vanquish is the best. No questions asked.

STRC is an upgrade to plastic, but if your not going VP, then you might as well buy the cheapest things you can find on Ebay. Then once they break, you can buy VP.

I know that now. Buy it right the first time!

I have many STRC products and they are great for the price however their machining tolerances are not as exact as Vanquish or Axial aluminum parts. STRC Parts like chassis braces, shock mounts, etc are fine but If the part houses a bearing or bushing I would buy the best. JMO though.

[fr8cture]

The bearings are snug in all my VP stuff.

I had STRC parts on my last truck and never had problems with them. I've also used Hot Racing knuckles without issues.

I have bought several sets of Hot Racing knuckles for assorted cars. The material is softer than VP, but worked fine.

[Postclanker]

I also have VP, STRC, and Axial
My VP parts are snug and tight 5 out of 7 rigs run them
My STRC parts were machined badly, couldn't fit a bearing in the Knuckle at all they sit in my parts bin waiting to be dremeled out...probably never happen
I actually broke an Axial knuckle

2 rigs run the cheap AsiaTees parts .....never a problem with them ....go figure

I love this hobby, so many different opinions, styles and attitudes
Fist pumps to Violator and Rowdy

Wow! Interesting. Vp is the way to go, judging by the people who replied said " vp is way to go!" Well pretty much anyway. Thanks all you guys for the help. Thanks again!

While everyone else makes alloy copied of plastic junk vp steps up and improves the designs with tighter tolerances. Their titanium parts are over rated though. I can't keep my tie rod straight for more than a couple runs. Driving by braille has its consequences.

Had 2 full STRC traxxas trucks in the past, all parts fitted perfectly and never had an issue with them.
A lot of stuff broke and bent, but no issues with the STRC parts, even with hard bashing and big jumps
