Maxx RPM Knuckles | 16mm Bearings

[Kcaz25]

THESEfrom Tekno RC are made of harder plastic than that of RPM they also use 16mm bearings that facilitate 8mm stub axles. But you would have to make sure the inside bearing would work with the CVDs. Also these are in 3.3 type spec. Other wise nice aluminum knuckles like THESE would hold up well to boared out holes. They might develop slop as quickly as plastic. I've just boared out the outside slots on my RPM "truetrack" to allow for 8mm axles. I'm counting on it working very well. It looks good and I've used the TRUE track system for a long time now. And will boar out the front latter. On the front I use TRX knuckles. I just use a dremel drum wheel. Tt is almost 16mm. Like 15.5mm so I just try to remain as careful as possible when dremeling. I press the bearings in once they will allow me to force them in. I use Losi 8t 2.0 cvds btw. But be warned I might not work for non RPM "truetrack". I haven't tested to see if it will fit on standard suspension. The truetrack likes longer CVDS.

I hope this helps...

Hey Zack, thanks for the info and the link to the Tekno Carriers... It looks beefy!... Pity it won't help though...
I would need to find a set of 18X8x4 or 5mm bearings for the inner seats which seems to be rear... I am leaning
towards your idea of using a dremil to open the bearing seats... I was even thinking of heating the plastics to
soften it so that the bearings could be forced in... not sure if this will work though...
