Default Replacement Knuckles

I broke my first steering knuckle on the txt. Does anyone make machined replacements? If no one makes machined ones, where 's the best place to order new plastic ones ?

well you do know that the steering knuckles are the exact same thing as a clod right? My guess would be that towerhobbies would be a great place to get replacements. And if you want aluminum parts goto rc4wd.com but they are expensive

I just ordered 2 sets of the alloy knuckles. Well see how they work out. I didn't want the plastic ones again as I broke the knuckle crawling in doors on the couch.

[Hi jacking]

200:1 with a 55t Lathe motor? That thing slower than slow?

It was too slow, but mighty powerful. Gearing with the stock motor was a 129:1, I added the Lathe and I guessed around 200:1. I switched the pinion on the lathe from 12t to 18t to bring it back around 120-129:1 .

Thumbs up

Got the inetrc.com alloy knuckles on. Love them. Better steering response, a little tighter radius, and it just looks cool!.
