| ar60 Beef tubes or aluminum housings
how many of you are having issues with c-hub play. I have stock housings, and hot racing c-hubs, and knuckles. I have a lot of play in the front so much so that the truck looks like its a cambered out ricer. wondering if beef tubes would fix this or if i need to just get an rc4wd housing? I know these smt10s have got to be putting stress in the same area where the c-hub attaches to the axle.

Hey loony.... I had issues with the HR not being as snug as it should...I tried a couple of things (plumbers tape, shoe goo...don't do that...it's hell to clean up) Nothing worked until I switched them out for VP C's....I know, expensive...but they worked like they should.... The HR stuff has sat idle since then.... |

HR and strc can fit loose on some hiusings. I've had VP be lose too so it's not always a discount part problem. I'd do beef tubes 10 times out of 10. |

I ordered some aluminum beef tubes. Going to order some better c's too cause i think these have just gotten worn out.

I use the vanquish clamping C's and lockouts. There is no sag at all. I also ordered the vanquish v2 housings so should be bulletproof. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

is your camber from c-hubs not fitting right or from slop in your knuckle bushings and/or bearings in the knuckle for the axles? shimming with kyosho #96646 helps get rid of slop in the knuckle bearings, and dlux machined c-hub bushings eliminate a ton of slop over the stock axial flanged pipe bushings. |

Its a combination of all of it. When you grab the wheel it all looks loose. I am gonna have to cheak out those bushings.
