Are you having more issues with the plastic knuckle arms than the alloy ones?

You may find the 3Racing knuckles better than the Kyosho because they are machined rather than cast from what I can see
Im finding cast ones seem to last longer than the plastic but agree as they are cast the thread doesnt last for long. The plastic seems to flex so the king pin vibrates out, so much trial and error and still no solution.

Im looking at the rpm knuckles and if we could use the same principle but with the inner knuckle section being a washer sunk sized area then it could be dropped in but question is can it be deeper to accomodate a flat head or countersunk screw so a lock nut can be used ontop or underneath the hubs?

Mmm im now contimplating seeing if i can countersink the inner section somehow and just put a countersunk screw through. That way it will miss the uj and with the correct length screw would mean once the nyloc nuts fitted it wont come off.

Maybe a 3d version and that may actaully do it. Still prefer alloy and will test the 3racing ones.
