CRT.5 front C-Hubs - RC-Monster Forums

rhinopole · **CRT.5 front C-Hubs -** 01.04.2010, 11:53 PM

Ok, I am constantly breaking front C-Hubs right at the hinge pin. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me? Looking at the design, it seems like a serious weak link. I tried boiling them, no go. It really doesn't take much of a lateral hit to stap these things. Don't want to spend $50 plus for Cnc'd C-hubs just to transfer the damage to the knuckles. Does anyone know if the Mini Hyper ST upper/lower arms and pillow ball units fit the CRT.5? If so, are they any more durable?

Dont smash the front end into things- have seen rear hubs broken- but from landing right on them. Parts dont make up for driver error

I've broken some C-hubs, but only when other parts broke at the same time. Look close at the assembly to make sure they binding or being loaded in some weird way.

Didn't know that these were available...thanks!

One of my main gripes w/the crt.5 is the front plastics are weak

From what I've seen the guys with the Ofna Hyper 10 SC are having as much problems with the PBS system breaking as the guys with the Jammin SCRT10 c-hub system. I'm interested to see if this fixes your problems.

True, but better quality parts hopefully will last longer due to driver error

hey buddy, im still trying to figure out what some of you folks expect. this thing is about twice the weight of most 4wd e buggies and every bit as fast and roughly the same size components. If you enjoy the truck, just buy the hubs and knuckles and youll not bust that crap anymore, the only thing i keep breaking is front arms . Im waiting for my buddy finish repairing my medusa and im putting Mike's billet long arms on his extended chassis with doubled rear pin capture plates and that will realy harden the truck.but that costs alot but i enjoy the truck very much so its worth it to me.if your lookn for tuff trucks ,buy a slash 4x4 but that gonna break too? try to have fun and just have spres around
