Did you order stock replacements or something aftermarket? Shouldn't have any issue if you simply ordered Redcat replacement parts.

Yes it was a redcat replacement from zno. I guess I just have to figure out what I did wrong. Is there a way to put them on wrong?

If you switch to shorter traxxas rod ends, both sides on the longer link and one side on the servo link, and maybe remove the washers, you should be able to get it right, I had the same problem when I switched to aluminum knuckles.

The holes at the end of the knuckles should be the one you put it in. You might have the wrong hole.... BOY! have I been there before!:lmao:
