"I hade to use the inner hole because of the tire rub issue" The traxxas rod ends are pretty large and almost touched the tire in the outer most hole. Going from stock knuckles to these, it seemed like I gained steering, plus the higher steering is great! I'll have more info later today, as I'm heading out to run this thing!

Welcome to the club! Call Steve and tell him. DON'T EMAIL!!! He still hasn't responded to my email from 3 weeks ago! You may have to use the wider hexes like mine.....if you have any stub axle left. Steve told me that there's no issue with the Vanquish rims and the optional sizes of hubs. BTW, I test fit the 2.2 Proline Titus Beadlocks with the 2.2 Flat Irons and there was a ton of room. I went down to the stock hexes for that set up.

Yeah, I think I've narrowed it down to when ever there's a majority of white is when the lines develop. may have to change the rear backdrop.

Thanks for the comments. The lines are my cmera not playing nice with my lighting! I've bee shopping for a body, not shure what to go with. I like the idea of the rear honcho style, but wo knows.

Just ran into the same problem. Gonna shop around for some wheels tonight...

Great vid just got me a scx10 on an rc trade and working on getting it rebuilt its my first crawler so its really new to me coming from a slash. Also got a cr-01 chassis but I think I am going to sell it to get another scx10.

Yeah, Vanquish products are second to none. My Stage 1 kit is still going strong!

cool, keep me posted. Love seeing upgrade videos

Thanks! The SCX10 is a great platform to make it your own. You will like crawling, but fast RC's a great too

Steering gain would make sense. The leverage being closer to the rotation point would cause that. Its like on airplanes when you move the linkage to the inner most hole on the control surface to max throw for 3D flying.

Great video bro! A definite "heads-up" on what is all needed to make things work. 100% MIDWID Material video!

Love the VP stuff. Haven't got any on my Wraith yet but after seeing a few rigs updated with their products I'm sure as heck gonna put some on my own rig. Great vid as always, very informative with a very calm delivery, keep up the good work !!!

I put a link in the video description to Vanquish's site. You can buy from other places as well. I paid $22 for it.

No worries. It was a huge ordeal. I was trying to get some answers about why nothing would work after installing the Stage 1 kit. One day, I double checked the website and all of the "new" info was available!

thanks for this great video.

Yeah, I'm working on that. Seems like the fluorescent lighting and the white background when I removed the truck went haywire and created lines. Thanks for the nice comments!

Thanks for all the great comments! Vanquish stuff is really the best upgrades out there. I guess If I could choose poor product or poor response time......

thumbs up!!

Sounds good, I think Medic had a Hauler recently with working stacks.

Vanquish is where it' at brother.. ! good heads up... peace

ya i got some rc4wd 1.9 Militants there gonna look bad ass im using the stock jeep tires i hope they dont rub i got my vanquish rims not to rub by using the vanquish 475 hex hubs ill be posting a video tomorrow i kinda got ahead of myself and the trucks like 90% built lol sorry but i will show all the parts and how it looks im gonna be using a hpi 2002 dodge ram body and a ford f250 body im still waiting on the motor and esc to come in the mail

The "8 Degree" positioning of the Knuckles, is called the "Kingpin Angle" or Axis..... The most obvious advantage, anyone with a Wraith or Bomber already knows, is better Straight Line Stability. The Angle creates a self centering feature. Also, you get increased Camber in turns, making the front Tires bite better in turns. This is not only great for high speed - but when Crawling..... It gives the Front End MORE grip when side hilling! It gets asked often. I've built the 1:1 version of these, and just wanted to add some insight. 😉

Tell Steve or Tom at Vanquish that Rich from the RCNetwork says Hi! And "I told you so"! hat will probably be my route soon, buying new wheels, although I have $130 in these DC wheels already

i would just use the 475 wheel hubs from Vanquish, cant go any smaller because of the 8 degree steering knuckles.

@TheRCNetwork

Yeah, but with my already purchased RC4WD Dick Cepek wheels, I didn't have much of a choice. The DC wheels were almost the exact same offset as the stock Axial honcho wheels too.

Truck looks nice and solid! Cant wait to see what aftermarket body you end up using & 7:07 whats up with the yellow lol?

ya im having the same problem with my tires rubbing on the high steering knuckle and im using vanquish rims and rock crushers from rc4wd i have tried diffrent hubs from vanquish and they still rub

im putting a aluminum set of 6" smoke stacks on the dodge ill be cutting to size there for the tamiya king hauler i got them off ebay some guy makes them you should come down to edmonton ab man we could tear up the trails lol

Nice video man! Finally do you have a ref for the steering link?

Hi thanks for the video. Have you tried this set up with upgraded CVD type axle shafts? I found using the Axial upgraded cvd shafts improved the turning radius significantly - meaning I can turn the SCX10 even "sharper". So much that at full lock the tire on the outside of the turn is nearly sideways and binds up!

@TheRCNetwork

I haven't ran the CVD's on the Honcho. I do run them in other vehicles and see the advantage. Thanks for watching!

No, as long as you have the correct size SLW hubs

Hey, do you have to use the extended wheel hexes when using the vanquish wheels with the sow hubs?

Do they make a kit they will work with the stock wheels?

Did you have a problem with not enough thread left on axle shaft after installing traxxas hex? does anyone make a longer axle shaft?

@TheRCNetwork

7 жыл бұрын

Yep, slight issue with this set up.....since then, VP wheels have finally become more plentiful....at the time, all 2.2's were out of stock.....a simple SLW hub of the right offset will fix this

what is the benefit of 8º c-hub & knuckle over the stock?

@TheRCNetwork

10 жыл бұрын

The benefit of the VP 8* set-up is less tire scrub, which improves overall steering performance by reducing the amount at which the tires fight each other. The 8* knuckle setup allows for normal caster (clocking) angles while reducing scrub angles and maximizing tire contact patch.

hi ive recently put the stage one kit on my scx10 .. ime running axial 1.9 bead locks with proline super swampers XL versions.. i did your fix with the traxxas part and a washer .. i was wondering if you could recommend a slw hub i do intend on getting vp rims .. ive looked at there charts just want to confirm with you. 725 slw hubs seem to be on par with the measurements i get with your fix.

@TheRCNetwork

10 жыл бұрын

With VP rims, you won't need the fix in the video, as the SLW hubs give you the extra clearance you'll need. I haven't personally ran VP rims, but you may want to run it by +Evol Villain RC or +HarleyDesignsInc as they're VP affiliates and they run them.

What front bumper is that your running? Thanks!

and also can I use the stock ring and pinion from axial in the vanquish scx10 housing?

It won't, as it's not long enough to reach the "zero Ackerman" of the vanquish knuckles. I ended up with the Vanquish currie steering linkage and it worked perfect. You can also make your own.

great video brother! my wife ordered me a set of the vanquish 2.2 kmc rockstar wheels for my scx10. long story shortened, I ended up with the 380 (I think, basically the 3/8" slw hubs) and when I mounted them and tried to install the wheels the stock axel was too long to mount the wheel so luckily I had also ordered a set of gear head delrin spacers that were 2 or 3 mm from rpp hobby and when I put them on I had the perfect fit for the scx10. But what I was getting to was the quality of vanquish is excellent! the detail and finish is amazing but is a bit pricey. not trying to plug my channel but if you'd like to see my still in progress scx10 jk build check out my channel. thanks for the good videos bro!
