|  HR Knuckles and C's Warning!!!!
I ordered a set of knuckles and C's for the LMC made by Hot Racing. I was stoked that someone had some out now! So about 5 days later, today I got them in. So you guys know me as soon as I got home I tore into the package to get them on. The package they came in was done nicely and to my suprise it also came with screw caps! I thought cool! So I disassembled the left side and took the stock knuckles and C's off. I then put the HR C on with no probs and them put the HR screw caps on. Then I tried to put the HR knuckle on the HR C......it wouldn't go on? I'm thinking you have to be kidding me! So I tried a few more times and nothing. I put the HR C next to the stock one and it was way off! I put the HR knuckle next to the stock one and it was fine? So I got out the trusty digital caliper's. The stock C was .685" and the HR one was .706!!! So I tried to file the HR C down some to just try and make it work.....even after a good bit of filing it the steering still won't turn after I did get it on. It's still to tight. This is not the kind of quality I expect to get after spending almost $50 for knuckles and C's! So I would tell you guy's to hold out on the HR C's and knuckles till they fix this......

Same thing happened to me with the TLT knuckles. They weren't even drilled straight.

| I am looking at my c hubs, aluminum center gears set, and main gear set right now still in the packages. I'm glad I did not open them yet.
