You're looking for the D parts tree. Here's a good place to find them: http://www.thundertechracing.com/junkyard.htm

Bobtail74 · 07-31-2006, 09:23 AM

The BEST ones to get are made by GPM and seem to only come in blue for some reason(aluminum). These things are awesome and are one piece instead of two like the RC4WD plus they come with all the hardware. I will get the part number and the price (I can't remember what I spent) and post again.

cartronicshn · 07-31-2006, 09:25 AM

thanks Brett and bob , i have seen this page, but they don't take paypal, and probably don't take international c.c. either, any other place you can think of?

Bobtail74 · 07-31-2006, 09:43 AM

I apologize, I did not even think of that but for anybody else the part number is TXT-01 and I spent less than $30.00 for a pair.

cartronicshn · 07-31-2006, 09:57 AM

according to hobbyetc. the part # is TXT 021, i needed 3 sets they only have one

, need help, anybody

Just received these Gpm knuckles today and are installed. Stronger and less bulky than the stock plastic ones. One thing to mention the knuckle gives less of a turning radius than the stock ones. They have a different angle at the steering arms, to compensate for this I had to remove some of the webbing from the axles to regaine and possibly increase my turning radius. Overall a great product and wiil take a bashing.

andrewmp6 · 08-01-2006, 12:58 AM

i think http://www.inetrc.com/ has gpm ones if not they are a clone or http://www.toughracing.com/ has the 2 piece ones like rc4wd but cheaper

Bobtail74 · 08-01-2006, 08:46 AM

I am a DIPSH*T ... I left out the "2" when I typed in the part number.

cartronicshn · 08-01-2006, 09:31 AM

thanks for all the help guys, this is what forums are about, i'll will go with inetrc ,tough racing is all out of stock

, what's going on? major parts shortages:-(

andrewmp6 · 08-02-2006, 03:55 AM

glad i could help toughracing is more of a rc boat site but they carry some other parts most of my parts are from inetrc rc4wd and towerhobbies

DaViolentOne · 08-02-2006, 09:24 AM

Buddy of mine here uses aluminum TXT knuckles on both ends of his Clod... Less than $30US a pair, good radius and 1 pce...

cartronicshn · 08-02-2006, 09:41 AM

link to those txt knuckles? any mods needed for them to work on the clod?

DaViolentOne · 08-03-2006, 09:19 AM

I can't find a link at like Tower or anything like that... But I DO know that Clod, TXT and Juggy knuckles are the same unit... All 3 kits, same part, same part #... There's a fair few on eBay and overseas hobby shops... I googled it and that's what I found...

andrewmp6 · 08-05-2006, 01:06 AM

gpm stoped making clod parts so everyone email chinngai@netvigator.com and say you want clod parts they will make them again if enough people want them

Brainstain · 08-07-2006, 02:48 AM

Just DON'T get the new RC4WD ones. THEY SUCK BALLS! I bet between both axles they only allow 45 degrees of steering. HONESTLY. I'm gonna have to have them machined to get my steering back. I'd send them back to get my money but I already waited 3 months for them. And that was bothering him once a week.

cartronicshn · 08-07-2006, 07:17 AM

i hear ya , i already own 2 sets and they suck for turning, i did get some from ircnet.com, hope these help.

knotted · 08-07-2006, 12:50 PM

Yep, my RC4WD knuckles are terrible for steering, and if you add an axle brace it gets even worse! Time to get out the Dremel.

CRAZYRT · 08-07-2006, 06:54 PM

The GPM's are nice, but you must grind out a notch in the axle tube ends to get them to turn at all. Use SS axle tube end braces if you do this mod.

bennettclod · 08-20-2006, 07:38 PM

are the stock plastic knuckles very fragile? i broke my right front one today and am weighing the option of replacement with plastic vs. aluminum ones. i am wondering if it was just a freak landing or a common issue i will be having.

btw i am running a bennet chassis with 12 cells and 13x2 motors so i speed more than crawl.
