I love the car but it is 549 dollar car so i assume that will be reasonabe to wear cnc knuckles like the hobaos, hong nor, associated,.... that are in the same range price
Hobao? Hong Nor? Not sure if those are cars that form a good comparison (never seen one at my track or any other I have raced at this year). The Associated? A very heavy car out of the box and requires a lot of work to make it handle well.
Xray, Losi, Mugen, Serpent (to name a few) come with plastic steering blocks and they are all of comparable price. My Kyosho has aluminum steering blocks but it better for a 900 dollar car.
They add weight and don't serve as a performance advantage. Plus they would drive the cost of the kit up.
