Interestingly, Did they seal the front axles or there are also holes in which water passes freely. In my opinion, this is the main problem of the front axles.
It is better to put the bearings on the input to eliminate the leak and not to increase the ground clearance of 1-3mm.

I just ordered a set. So I guess we’ll see if their any good. I’m a bit excited. Hope I don’t regret it. Lol. I also ordered a set of tfl’s f9’s for a custom build. Super excited for those too.

I actually stumbled across them on eBay. $316 with shipping.

Beef tubes also came out with some beef sticks that I went ahead and ordered too. I’m out of town working and I have nothing else to do. Pretty sad.

I really like the relocated pan hard bar mount which allows for a longer bar reducing the arc movement. The only downside is that you must build a longer panhard bar. It will also reguire a longer drag link if you run in the ackerman setting.

Great in theory. From what I can tell they did not make any adjustments to keep the drag link and panhard the same length so you will end up with a stock (shorter) drag link resulting in less than ideal steering geometry.

Only solutions would be to move the servo, difficult because the required length would probably put it outside the frame rail. Or knuckles with the mounting location further out which kills ackerman and tire/wheel clearance. So you are stuck trying to mount the servo on the axle or just living with poor geometry.

I cant justify spending the money to make the suspension geometry worse...

What do you mean, Brandon? Wouldn't I be able to mount the servo in its stock mounting place?
And would the Sport perform worse with this housing?
I'm about to place the order and the only reason I havent put it in yet is that I'm thinking of maybe going for silver this time.. And now I read this..
I don't know sh*t about steering geometry, so I would love if someone could clearify this for me..

both drag link and panhard should ideally be same length and same relative angle mounted between frame and axle

I already have the servo relocation mount which makes the link a little longer too. The bump steer your gonna get is for high speed vehicles. You’ll never even notice on a slow crawler. Especially an rc crawler. Lol.

It’s not an upgrade for everyone that’s for sure. It is for me. Vanquish isn’t cheap and my yeti is built with nothing but. I would consider grc the vanquish for trx at the moment anyways.

And I’ll get you guys in on a little secret. They will bargain with you. All you have to do is ask. I actually only paid 260 shipped. I think I could have got them cheaper too. Same with the tfl axles.
