Wobbly
As others have said, they could be machined better for sure. They’re sloppy and allow for a lot of play in the wheels. But as others have also said, theres not many options for redcat upgrades. I would suggest these, but i would also suggest a set of mini/micro washers and a surgeons hand to fill in the sloppy gaps

Meh
all of these parts could use a revisit of the the tolerances. The carriers have about 1/32" of play on the pin between them and the control arms which causes pretty serious wobble in all wheels. The knuckles also have a pretty serious gap between them and the carriers, causing more play and wobble. The front carriers are also a little wider than the stock ones so the back sides do not fit all the way into the control arm when the suspension is at full extension, causing binding and stress on other parts. On top of this, the bearings do not seat very tightly and are prone to sliding down the axle hubs. I was able to put spacers in the rear carriers to tighten them up and they work well, but the fronts are so bad that i reverted to the stock plastic carriers and knuckles. The servo kit seems to be pretty good, so that's a plus i suppose.

Good deal for a four corner and steering component upgrade or repair.
I needed to replace a stripped OEM front hub screw on my #2 Volcano EXP so decided to go with the full steering/hub rig for the #2 truck.Everything fits correctly, purple anodizing is exact color match as well. Note that the bearings/hub carriers are a tight fit with better tolerances than a competing kit I had purchased for a different rig.It doesn’t take too long to install everything but requires a fairly full tear down to get the steering bits replaced. No big deal though. Good opportunity to make sure the flywheel and other parts are in good repair.For the price of replacing OEM plastic parts with anodized AL bits this is pretty much a no-brainer. Especially compared to what we used to pay for the sorts of swag parts 15 years ago, and throw in new bearings (OEM doesn’t have ball bearings for the smaller rings either, so that’s another upgrade).Good stuff.

Good upgrade but there is some play...
Love the upgrade. Got these cause the plastic knuckles stripped out after crashing. Nice upgrade especially now that there are actual bearings in each hub not greased bushings. The only fault I have is the mounting at the control arms has a ton of lateral play. I had to make thin plastic washees to firm it up but so far so good

Awesome product, bad quality assurance
The price point is where I was attracted. Having bought hobbypark's chassis, i figured this would also be a great purchase...the rear wheel hubs are great, zero issues. The front steering knuckle carriers are not identical in size (internally where the knuckle gets mounted). The front left one is good, the front right however has a larger gap between the top and bottom which causes uneven alignment of the wheels and excessive travel of the steering knuckle. So one side clunks and moves around more which will also cause extra wear on the steering components.Now the REAL reason I purchased this was for the servo saver and bellcrank. The holes for the Ackerman plate on both the servo saver and bellcrank are not machined properly, there is excessive play or it doesn't move. That's it. Also, the threads are not the same as the stock plastic parts on the steering knuckles so I am short 4 screws on the support bracket now.

works good, loctite your screws mine fell out and they're hard to replace
kit worked good, bought a damaged rc car off amazon for cheap and the front arms were damaged and missing screws so i ordered this and it was a direct fit and everything worked great, only bad part is i didnt loctite my screws at first and one of them rattled out so i cant find it, luckily i went to local hobby store and found a close match that fit and it is working fine after the first few tanks other then that great product

Fast shipping arrived a day early.
You will need to add Loctite blue to screws going into metal. May need to add shims in some areas to get a close fit, otherwise kit fits nice.
