Re: Gen7 Aluminum Knuckles Available!!! I ordered mine last night too. Don't buy these expecting to get more overall angle though. The steering mods that are already being done to the factory steering can take you as far as the CV axles are capable of going. This mod won't let you go further. What it will hopefully do is provide better steering through improved ackerman angles. Additionally, for those who don't feel comfortable doing the free mods, this should be a simple bolt-on solution to get better steering. |

^^^^^ This. I run Axial cvds on mine, which get a couple of extra degrees of steering. |
Re: Gen7 Aluminum Knuckles Available!!! Other pluses would be strength and some more weight down low and in front right where everyone likes it. |

Re: Gen7 Aluminum Knuckles Available!!! The Everest is a SCX10 copy, so if you want to upgrade it get some already upgraded scx10 axles. Plenty of scx10 owners that sells them so they can upgrade to a scx10 2 axle. Or better yet just get a scx10 2 axle. And while you are at it, get a SCX10 skid and transmission so you can get the links towards the center and a transmission that has proper gears and bearings |

Re: Gen7 Aluminum Knuckles Available!!! Well that's a huge disappointment for them to leave out that kind of information. Guess I will start looking into a 4 wheel steering setup now, hopefully something simple like just swapping the rear axle with a front one. I did grind the "knub" off the stock knuckle but I don't like the idea of grinding on the gear housing of the axle. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk |

I guess I'm going to be ordering the chubs if they don't fit the stockers. :roll: After looking at the aluminum chubs, I still don't see anything that indicates that they're different than the plastic ones, nor is there any mention of them being different. I've seen guys run the aluminum knuckles with the stock chubs and with the aluminum chubs, so I'm still skeptical that they're actually different. |
