Hey guys which brand rear hubs seems to be the best for the money? I remember when I had my last t 2.0 that lots of people were complaining about the rear hub bearings being too small and blowing out often.

I was looking at putting bigger bearings in some stockers or the KH ones or the Losi aluminum ones?

it seems alot of people like the KH 1s...i personally dont run any aluminum parts...only cause i dont have the $.....i was running aluminum chassis braces and the steering brace...but i sold them and went back to stock...i like a lil flex....but thats just me....i would run the aluminum hubs and the inclined spindles and carriers if i had the $

I've tried both the Losi and the KH rear hubs and hands down the KH hubs are better. Racing on a track with big jumps, I had to replace the outer bearings on the Losi hubs every round. Now with the KH hubs, I get a normal maintainence interval out of the bearings. Pony up the $$ just for reliability sake.

The bigger outer bearings do help with wear i would agree.

The KHZ hubs are well worth it. I personally run Losi aluminum hubs that have been modded to run the 8x16mm bearings. Same bearings the KHZ hubs are designed to use. They aren't cheap, but if you want a reliable bearing setup they're pretty much a must have.

Definately pick up some KHDZ rear hubs if you can. They larger outer bearings last for some gallons on my truck. Even when I replace them they still feel smooth.

If your talking the JDUB modded plastic hubs I would have to say no myself. I have had a few plastic rear hubs break so I would recomend going with aluminum ones.
