Rampage Rally steering hub question

[BoomDivX]

On my first day of racing with my new rampage rally, both steering hub (part #52008 in the manual) stripped where the screw of the front arms are. So now I can't even roll because the steering hub is just falling everytime. In the manual, they call it "52008 - Steering hub(L/R)" and some websites call it the steering knuckle... I'm not even sure I'm giving the name correctly


My question is: is there an aluminium upgrade for the steering hub for the rampage rally? I saw the steering mount aluminium part but the design looks different than the hub I have. Would it fit on the rally?

don't DO IT


stick to plastics make sure you use thread lock on them.


my tip for the day is boil them for 10 mins before fitting it makes them less brittle.


i boil all of my plastics, the reason for sticking with plastic is you need a weak point somewhere in case of a problem.


id rather brake plastic than bend alloy

I don't know how I would bend a steering hub it's not like I'm bashing with my on-road car... and even if I put treadlock in it before, it will do the same thing which is: all the threads came with the screw... they just popped out

The aluminum knuckles are tough as nails. I've used them since day 1.

so knucle/hub/mount are the same thing? If so, I'm ordering that tomorrow
