I would be willing to bet that it wouldn't take much work with a small rotary tool to get them to fit.
Very cool product SSD!

They look great.

Steven RCBitz in the UK will probably stock them when they come out, or its GCM etc from the other side of the pond......though your a few miles closer than me.

X2, most parts will fit with a little work.

X2, I looked over RCBitz site awhile back and they look very well into the scale and crawler scene, otherwise GCM should be able to ship to you.

These will for sure be my next upgrade.

Looks to me so far like SSD is going to lead the pack as far as Ascender upgrades go. You guys are doing great work so far with what's available. I can't wait until this truck really takes off and starts to get more of the same aftermarket treatment that the SCX10 gets.

Nice, SSD quality is excellent and customer support is great too.

Better steering and on climbs it helps the tires dig in and pull the truck up especially if there's a ledge you can't quite make...a few more degrees caster really makes the diference.

Right after I got the Vaterra knuckles...

I wish they would be compatible with the Vaterra disc brake weights though. That's the only reason I upgraded to aluminum knuckles on mine. The 4 holes have to be for something. Are we getting SSD weights?

The 4 holes mimic those on full size knuckles, all of SSD's knuckles have them. The holes are decorative, they are only about a MM deep.

They have 5 degrees more caster than stock so they are already clocked a little. Any more and the Panhard geometry may not be right.
