The knuckles are very good quality. But the brass sleeves are to short and when you tighten the bolts the knuckles become stuck. Really hate to buy extra parts or modify these parts that are very simple. In other words the hardware is incomplete.
If you're looking to purchase this for the Gmade GS02 BOM or Komodo they'll fit but you'll lose at least half of your steering angle. You're better off purchasing the SSD aluminum knuckles and separate weights that can be bolted to the knuckles, this way you won't lose any steering angle. If you're looking at these for a SCX10.2 they fit perfect with no loss of steering angle. Just make sure you don't over tighten them to the C-hub because they'll bind.
Threw a set of these on my 10ii kit running an Axial Mighty FC body. I will say this made a huge difference in the way that the truck felt and really improved it's performance on climbs and when getting over obstacles as well as side-hilling.
Installed my second set. Perfect fit on the Pro44 with stock C-hubs and the Vanquish Currie axle. Hevy weight, no issues with wheels. Very nice parts. Used some silicone grease spray to install the inner bearing. Slides right in.
Easy to install using included hardware or stock hardware. Color matches the 10ii Kit links!
Reviewers largely praise the brass knuckles for weight and planted feel, with several reporting easy installation, good colour match, and no wheel clearance problems on SCX10 II-style builds. Ratings are mostly 5/5. Two reviewers report issues: one 1/5 review describes a left-side bind that the reviewer attributes to the knuckle, and a 2/5 review says the brass sleeves are too short, causing the knuckles to stick when bolts are tightened, so extra parts or modification are needed. A 5/5 reviewer notes a loss of steering angle on Gmade GS02 BOM or Komodo, and advises not to over-tighten onto the C-hub to avoid binding. Reviews concern the AR44 variant; the 2018 and 2021 dates vary.
