Anyone make aluminum upgrades for steering hubs??

[everestj]

I have a brand new Rockslide rs10 and the front steering hub broke on the first run.... kinda bummed. Redcat is closed until Monday and is getting back to me, but i would like to order some upgrades asap. Thanks. my boys on Christmas break with a broken crawler...

Thanks. I ordered a set on Ebay. should be here by the 31st.... Still looking for any aluminum upgrades, or am i the only one who broke one of these? Maybe i had a weak stock part?

Not much aftermarket support for the redcats....

Keep digging around here, if someone does (or did) there should be info round these parts.

I've read these bolt right on Aluminum Front Knuckle Arm Upright SCX021 for GPM Axial SCX10 Electric 4WD | eBay

Yep, aluminum knuckles for the SCX10 will work and I'm using the stock plastic axial SCX10 steering knuckles and they are much better than the stockers. You can find the axial plastic knucks for cheap here on rcc because everyone ditches them for aluminum.

Read through some of the older build threads for the RS10 and you'll get a grasp for what works and what doesn't pretty easily. While there might not be much direct aftermarket support for the RS10, there are a lot of parts out there that will fit.

In this case, Axial steering knuckles bolt up just fine. Additionally you can use just about any chassis under the sun (you'll likely have to modify link lengths or make your own links), Axial offset 2.2 wheels work, you have plenty of 2.2 tire options, various shock options, tons of electronics options, etc...

I definitely suggest picking up a set of aluminum knuckles ASAP if you've broken a plastic one. They don't flex and hold up extremely well.

Has anybody ever used the knuckles linked here? Just wondering how well they work. $8.90 shipped seems like a good deal, but not if they're junk.

I bought them and they are much better than the stock knuckles! Quality seems to be great but I have to made a new links. Stock links are too long.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll probably order some too.

it would be better to get some high clearance knuckles.
when we finally get the universal axle mod going, the arm on the stock knuckles will
hit the case screw mount.

the xr10 knuckles have the 8*. you can find ax10 high clearance knuckles. vanquish has some
but they are a bit steep in cost.

I have a new idea for universals. using yeti axles cut to the right length and attaching
them to the spool shaft with universal couplers. we would have universals on both ends of each shaft.
wish me luck

scx10 knuckles are plug and play all you have to do is adjust steering linkage length and go

Can you explain how do adjust the steering linkage? Is there a video or anything showing how to?

you can bend link
you can use shorter ends
you can cut link slightly
