Thankyou for sharing! Ive never had any issues with The Vitavon knuckles. Im also using the Vitavon axles. I like the Treal design tho!

[@TABRO284]

The flat on the stock kingpin for the grub screw to engage was way to shallow. My grubscrew holes where threaded out as well. I used the traxxas 8940 kingpin mod.

[@WTFRCCars]

Yeh think another mod would be to drill out the grub screw hole and use a bigger grub screw with better threads

[@lonewolfrcs1331]

i did the the traxxas screw in kingpin trick worked and alot cheaper

[@rickcrawford6288]

my thoughts on the treal and vitavon knuckles. there the same knuckle just each one has the company name on them that' s why the treal knuckles fit so well on the vitavon axles.. but that's just my option

[@WTFRCCars]

There not the same you use the stock king pins with the Vitavon hubs the treal come with screw in king pins.

[@rickcrawford6288]

@@WTFRCCars they are the same knuckle side by side when looking at them BUT what makes them different is Vitavon you use the stock king pin that push in and the Treal uses the screw in ones that's the only differance between the 2 knuckles. i've been looking at the 2 knuckles side by side.

[@WTFRCCars]

For hubs they will always be very close as they both have to fit stock axles and you have the same limitations for the dimensions or they just wouldn't work, I just don't get why Vitavon kept the stock pins it's a big mistake and then to charge more I just couldn't recommend them over the hot racing or treal

[@rickcrawford6288]

@@WTFRCCars agree with you on why vitavon has you using the stocked king pins and not come out with screw in king pins like treal did make no sense. he told me himself to use the stocked one. I have the vitavon blue axles on the way and i just ordered the treal knuckles and sway bars too. in blue of couse. ALSO WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS ON INSTALLING THE AXLES AND KNUCKLES i WILL BE USING THE VIDEO TO HELP ME INSTALL MY AXLES AND KNUCKLES. YOU HAVE THE BEST VIDEO ON KZbin THAT SHOWS SOMEONE HOW TO INSTALL THE AXLES AND KNUCKLES STEP BY STEP WHICH IS THE WAY ANYONE COULD DO. AGAIN THANK YOU FOR HOW YOU DO VIDEOS . HAPPY BASHING

[@WTFRCCars]

Glad ya liked the vids think you will be very happy with that setup :)

[@rickcrawford6288]

Why didn't you buy the blue knuckles from Treal to match your blue axles?

[@WTFRCCars]

We got 2 LMT's and wanted the hubs different colour to the axles cos it looks too much blue lol

[@rickcrawford6288]

@@WTFRCCars ok, I'd get blue cause its my favorite color. i want my lmt all blue lol

[@WTFRCCars]

Should look good I think where going for the black steering arm and black links too :)

[@rickcrawford6288]

will you do a video on vitavon knuckles to conpare them to treal's knuckles ? i like to see that.

[@WTFRCCars]

I won't run the Vitavon they are same as treal buy use the stock king pins and that's the whole reason ppl are changing the hubs as the stock king pins are a bad design, both treal and hot racing understand and re designed the hubs to have screw in king pins I have no idea why Vitavon missed it also both treal and hot racing are £44 delivered in UK Vitavon want almost £60 and don't come with re designed king pins, I love the Vitavon parts I have but I'm no fan boy of any brand and this time Vitavon made a bad and overpriced product :(

[@rickcrawford6288]

@@WTFRCCars would the treal's king pin work with the vitavon knuckles. screw down into the knuckles ?

[@WTFRCCars]

No the hubs need to be made to take the re designed king pins

[@rickcrawford6288]

@@WTFRCCars thanks for the info

[@WTFRCCars]

No probs it's a shame about the Vitavon hubs I did raise it with Arthur but looks like they released what the had anyway :(
