|  Aluminum Knuckles for TLT
i havent seen many (any?) posts about aluminum knuckles for the TLT, so i thought i would post about some that i found. the only place that i could find them are from INetRC: http://inetrc.com/shopping/html/shopping_home.cfm they are $25.00 a pair + shipping + tax. ($60.00 shipped for 4). i was prompted to find some to replace my worn, stock plastic knuckles. also, on my rear steering, the post from the steering link to the knuckle arm is long. when the rear tires dug in, the arm on the knuckle would bend over about 15 degrees. these new knuckles should prevent that :-P long steering connection causing arm to bend.  worn arms on knuckles    new aluminum knuckles: they are smaller in some areas than the placstic ones and they are very light. also, the holes in the arms are threaded.     new knuckles on TLT: they fit on the axle nicely. you can see that the dogbone just clears the inside of the knuckle. i am still waiting for some bearings, however, before i reassemble everything, but it looks like every thing will line up and run smoothly.        i would recommend buying from this company. the shipping was also very prompt. enjoy :-P |

Looks like I might be late for the game, as when I went to rcMart, it shows that the aluminum knuckle for TLT has been discontinued.. Time to look for another cheap sources for those aluminum knuckles.. I mean, $60 vs. $25 is very big difference!! |

| why is it set up this way? why not flip the servo horn 180 degrees, facing down, and then get rid of that long connection to the knuckle arm...less leverage, less likely to bend or break....is there something i'm missing here? |

From the forum, I read that the TA-05 knuckle would be the same.. So I found these.. http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/produc...ducts_id=15553 Even cheaper.. $6.9 a pair.. maybe just need to order a couple of these to see if they fit fine!! (cheap enough to experiment, I guess!!) |

They look the same as the TLT knuckles. At that price, it's worth a shot!

to have the horn pointing down, i would need to get a servo reverser. Last edited by Sync; 06-07-2006 at 01:32 PM. | |

alright i give up....  ....i was trying to come up with a way for you to eliminate the tall piece off of the knuckle, to prevent it over leveraging and bending the aluminum...i know, it probably would never happen, but....or you could switch the pos/neg wires on the servo????? |
