Electric drill & MIP Allen tips are best RC upgrades I've purchased. The maintenance time drastically reduced especially for 1/8th scale & larger and once you have multiple RCs....LOL! Bought 7 for entire family, since 2018 & gotten back into the hobby
I've got the aluminium ones on the front of mine but in black and I didn't put the plastic caps bk in I left the out, and the nut goes all the way in and it still feels great a very slight bit of play but that's how I left it so that it didn't rub to bad and they have been in for about 5 months and all is good buddy 😉👊👍
Yes something have to give in a ugly crash. I have Hot Racing front hubs on my Kraton EXB and in a bad landing on one front wheel the turnbuckle and shock standoff broke. I guess if I had the stock plastic hubs maybe just the hub had cracked. That would cost less to repaire. But the pivote balls and drive shafts did not pop out. Its like they say, your car will look better with the metal parts, but it will still break! 😀 I keep the metal hubs, the landing was really bad so something had to give. Hope not to often this happens. 😇👍
That’s strange the caps are so long? Only one way to find out! Bash it and see how she performs! Great video B&T! 👍👊💯 I hit that like button! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Honestly i think the only places that should get aluminum besides chassis braces is the hingepin braces for suspension arms and the steering blocks and c cups on rcs that have them
If the driveshaft has the clearance you can also shave down the AR slightly on the end so the pivot ball sinks in further on which ever end you need to correct
Great vid, thanks! Question, not obvious to an amateur like me, but @ around 7:00 you talk about driveshaft popping, did you treat both sides similarly? Would leaving the right side washers in affect handling? So far it is only the left that pops. Thanks!
@@BarstoneRC you should definitely own a nitro or two. Taking couple of my 3.3 Maxxes , Savage & Losi 5ive 2stroke witch is so much easier to find fuel for "weedeater " lol
@@just4kicks950 yeah nirto are pretty Kool but I gotta say electric is just so much easier plus so much more power. Don't they make gas cars with just a nice 2 stroke engine like you said from a weed Wacker? History all you do is just by gasoline and use oil mixture.
@@BarstoneRC I'd be more than happy to help out, I understand the pain lol. Trying to get hot racing parts over here without spending double the cost on shipping and customs is impossible.
@@DanjaBis I’m with you there Dan , getting Hot Racing stuff is a really expensive exercise 😒 I have recently got some HR parts from AliExpress with no post or duty added 👍

Love my MIP tools and bits. Could never go back to junk again!!
They also fit on the Arrma Nero big rock
Cool upgrades

You know I was staring at that and debating on doing the same thing lol. I’m going to do that then. I didn’t like how that cap didn’t go real far in.
@@BarstoneRC yeah I thought that so I took the out and run with out and it been perfect for me buddy 😉
Thanks for the info bud
@@BarstoneRC mate im glad I can help, u r epic in my opinion so if I can help u make more epic videos then happy days lol 😉👍👊
Thanks man I really appreciate it

Yeah I’m hoping it doesn’t cause other stuff to break but I guess we will see?
Those look good hope they work out for you

Yeah it is. I’m being told guys run them without the plastic inserts and they work good. So I’m going to try that.
Deffo this design is to be used without the plastic inserts . Not ideal but 🤷♀️
Hot Racing do the same knuckle with plastic inserts designed in
Id bet the 3rd that takes the shallow steering block would be the talion
Honestly i think the only places that should get aluminum besides chassis braces is the hingepin braces for suspension arms and the steering blocks and c cups on rcs that have them
Yeah I’m not a fan of it also but I had them so I thought would try it.
I removed the washers so my driveshaft doesn’t pop out but now my tires are not sitting correctly. The toe is all wonky
If the driveshaft has the clearance you can also shave down the AR slightly on the end so the pivot ball sinks in further on which ever end you need to correct
@@BarstoneRC we’ll see. I ordered the rpm arms and hot racing steering knuckles when they arrive I will see what it looks like!

Yeah I removed both top and bottom washers on both sides.
@@BarstoneRC Awesome, thanks so much!
Krapton. Its name that for a reason. Haha
It has it flaws but every car does.
@@BarstoneRC True. But when they have call names for them..well if there's smoke there's' fire ;)
I hope they work for you dude 🤞💯 decided to take the nitro's today. Guess we're celebrating the return of nitro fuel at the local spot lol. 👊
Nice buddy I’m really thinking about a nitro again just take out sometimes

@@paulrakis Yeah my losi 5ive is 2stroke & I agree ! Electric is easier & way cleaner
What's the part number for them that your installing??
I can’t find these or at least the same ones anymore hot racing makes us set that’s really nice too
If you ever need something sorting fast from the UK give me a shout, sure we can sort something out with fast post :)
I always see things on eBay I wanted to get but shipping can be ruff
