get the 20* C's ........ but then your forced to use the stock knuckles.  the C's will pick the steering up and youll notice the improvement in steering and climbing ability. |

I thought I read the knuckles were supposed to be a bit higher, but I just went with those thinking they might be stronger. be prepared to make a steering link prob, I got the stock LCC link hoping it would work but broke a servo horn due to having to file it down on one side for clearance. still trying to get a link to work on this thing...kind of stuck since I dont have access to the tools I need at the time.

Go with the OTA steering link and get the 20* hubs. You will have to modify the OTA link slightly but its easy to do. I have this setup on my LNC and it works great. RCBROS has some high clearance knuckles and OTA link in the works specifically for the 20* hubs but they aren't available yet. |

As mentioned, we are working on a link to accomedate the high steer knuckles and 20* c's. Just to clarify on height, ours are taller then the stock knuckles. With 20*c's and stock knuckles your knuckle rotates backwards and up, giving you clearance similar to our high steer knuckles. However with out knuckles and the 20* c's, you are not even higher. I just wanted to clarify this as it seems there is some confusion. |
