Default Which Steering Knuckles?

Which steering knuckles work or are the best to use? Not wanting btw steering. Running an Axial ARTR with Proline Titan wheels with Proline Chisels. Not happy with the limited steering that I have right now.

It's not really the knuckles that limit steering. Axles/linkage/C screws.

There are many factors that need to be taken into account when trying to get the most out of your steering. Yes, the axle shafts, knuckles, tires hitting links/shocks....

I added a Robotronic servo arm and moved the tie rod under the steering knuckle to make room for the longer arm. This improved steering quit a bit. Now I don't know about clearance now with the tie rod lower, will just have to wait and see if issues arise. But, I did notice an improvement though with full lock to lock steering.

Yes, a longer arm will increase throw, but will reduce torque at the end of the arm...
