I've had both the GPM and the INET knuckles and the INET win hands down. The quailty is far and above the GPM ones. Although for a crawler, how much does it really matter?

I have Inets in the front and GPM's in the back. I really can't tell a difference other then the finish. Inets are chrome like shiny.

I've been through a set of the GPM ones, after a couple of nasty tumbles the hinge pins top and bottom tore the thread out, but I don't think they were machined, or they were a really soft alloy.
Now on first set of RC4WD ones and after a drop off a 50 foot, no thats not a typo, cliff the day before a comp, busted a couple of rod ends, put a rod through a tyre, snapped off 2 outer axles, bent the chassis a bit, but the knuckles survived. 3 hours work and competed in the largest comp we've had in OZ to date, State Of Origin or S.O.O.

So long as they are machined I reckon you'll be OK.

Looks like Stellamodels.net stopped selling the GPM knuckles right before I could afford to buy some.

Any one else know where to get them as cheap as stella was selling them for?

I really like my New Era knuckles. They're not red, but they are very high quality pieces for sure. They run $33 a pair.

I just ordered from New Era nuckles from work today, and they should be here within a week or so, I'll let yall know how they fit, seems like New Era makes some decent stuff though!

If you want them anod' I took some pieces of my touring car to my local Paintball shop, they ano' guns all the time, they did them for $25 bucks!

Later,
Jake
