|  Options for aluminum knuckles
I know rc4wd makes some and found some on inet-rc. Any other options? Thanks for any help.

I searched e-bay and found some for txt ( also fit clods) for like $33.00 a pair. And also I think Thundertech racing is molding a version from a stronger plastic. A guy at the LHS is ordering the thundertech ones as soon as they are available so I'll check em out when he gets them.

Inet ones are no longer available, I tried to order a pair to match my fronts. I recieved a email describing that they no longer sell them to the general public. Rc4wd is a bad company, I'll leave it at that. |

I don't like the RC4wd Knuckles cause. 1. The price cost more then others 2. Bolts hold it together, can loosen up, another thing to go wrong. 3. The king pins are nothing more then plastic sleeved screws, weak as compared to others 4. Machining looks poor as compared to others. Inet ones look amazing. 5. RC4wd has slow slow shipping, that is if you get it at all. There was several threads on this yesterday, I guess the Mods deleted them. |

BTW just so you know INET didn't make many of the parts they sold. Most of them including the knuckles are GPM. I have a set of GPM's for my TXT and they are exactly like the famed INET knuckles.

Honestly I'm trying to stay away from RC4wd. 1 friend is waiting for his knuckles from 3 weeks ago yet and another had to grind the heck out of his knuckles to fit. I'm kinda new to this so looking for somewhere else to get parts. Gota keep options open. Besides if there was something better out there I wouldnt know unless I asked. Thanks for the info guys. |

I love my GPM's. In combination with CVD's, Dig, and quarterscale servo's you just can't beat the turning radius |
