I also don't crash much, so if you track is nasty or your a real door banger, you might want to up for the better quality HPI knuckles from Japan. I also didn't notice any drop in front end grip, so there is still enough flex up front so that's not a real issue.

To be honest, I'm surprised HPI/Hot Bodies hasn't fixed this problem years ago. Coming from a Pro4, the issue started right when they introduced the knuckles with the little bubble so the steering would turn as far. Ever since then it splits knuckles down the front mold seem. I talked to Jeremy when he first started at HPI and sent him some examples, they were supposed to take a look at this to see if its and issue. Guess HPI figured they needed to keep selling knuckles!
