Reasonably Priced Front Knuckle And C-Hubs?

[NFA Fabrication]

The Axial brand parts are priced at $37/pr. for each! That is insane compared to the same parts for other cars! Does anyone else make a decent alternative? I have had my truck 2 days and they are already losing the steering pivot screws from getting stripped out.

I don't even want to do the conversion for strength, I just need my truck not to fall apart while driving it, and these first 2 days of ownership have been rough! The truck drives amazing when it stays together, but I am a Traxxas guy, and this is definitely not the same build quality out of the box!

towerhobbies is expensive. there are cheaper alternatives but you get what you pay for. ive managed to break cheaper aluminum knuckles.
shop around for cheaper. i found these on rpp and they're the axial ones not some cheap aftermarket company (like integy)

Ca glue my friend. Any screw into plastic doesn't need to be super tight, and with ca glue they won't back out.

The dynamite chubs are ok. The only reason I went alum chubs was to complete a beef toob installation.
