Oooooooo! Aaaaaaaaaah!
First, let me say that, dealing with RCP has been a real treat. They have everything a crawler could ever want....and.....it's ALWAYS in stock. Their warehouse must be an airplane hanger or something! The best part was getting Professionally narrowed Axial wheels!!! I didn't have to do anything to them. They have what looks like a fiber glass mesh holding them together in the center section. They had any color and all variations in stock and were cheap.
I also got the JP Custom Knuckles that are probably the coolest clod part I have seen yet. They are HUGE and are well thought out with small slots or grooves that you can mount batteries to, etc. And the bearings are HUGE too. They were only $75.99 and well worth it!

Look at these frickin knuckles! They are huge. The machining and tolerances are perfect. Fit like a glove....and I don't mean OJ's.

I think you put the knuckles on backwards. The grooves should be under the knuckle, hence the term "under the knuckle battery pack".


sweeeet rig though.

Yes. I did that on purpose. The steering arm mounts at a higher point if you flip them the way I have them. I do not intent to use the battery mounting points on the knuckles themselves. I got them for their strength, turning angles and large bearings. Good catch though JRH!
