Default CNC c-hubs Om matrix rtr

Just wondering if anyone got a little more steering throw from the aluminum c-hubs as opposed
to the stock plastics. The Plastic c-hubs seem to stop the steering from reaching full range on the inner part of the knuckle.
The cnc part #mxs12 (19 degree) or #mxs14 (22 degree) looks much different than the stock plastic and might allow full
range. I'm leaning toward the 22 degree for more stability. Any experience on this would be helpful. thanks all.

I forgot to mention it is a Matrix rtr

Default RE: CNC c-hubs

I clearanced My C-hubs on my Nemesis only about couple tenths on a millmeter and when I ran it turned hard the front of truck seem to jump up and down bit at low speeds and when I gas it hard the front end hops all around. I pulled it up close to me to see what was wrong......
when I took the wheels off and turned it hard both ways and rotated the drive train by it seemed to bind twice a rotation.
Well, what was happeningis,, the front Outer CV joint was turning just a fraction too far the shaving I did to the C-hub was causing the CV joint to over rotate beyond it mechanical abilty and bind.
since there is a single axis that rotates two ends of that axis is was that axis limitation that binding.
SO, I caused more problem to try to get a degree or two more turning.
Cen did such a good job balancing the performance V.S. durability and still maintained as much of the agility as possible with out compromising range of motion.


Whew.... where did that come from??
