Wobbly
As others have said, they could be machined better for sure. They’re sloppy and allow for a lot of play in the wheels. But as others have also said, theres not many options for redcat upgrades. I would suggest these, but i would also suggest a set of mini/micro washers and a surgeons hand to fill in the sloppy gaps

Great price and fast shipping
Fit perfectly on redcat volcano epx.

Meh
all of these parts could use a revisit of the the tolerances. The carriers have about 1/32" of play on the pin between them and the control arms which causes pretty serious wobble in all wheels. The knuckles also have a pretty serious gap between them and the carriers, causing more play and wobble. The front carriers are also a little wider than the stock ones so the back sides do not fit all the way into the control arm when the suspension is at full extension, causing binding and stress on other parts. On top of this, the bearings do not seat very tightly and are prone to sliding down the axle hubs. I was able to put spacers in the rear carriers to tighten them up and they work well, but the fronts are so bad that i reverted to the stock plastic carriers and knuckles. The servo kit seems to be pretty good, so that's a plus i suppose.

Good deal for a four corner and steering component upgrade or repair.
I needed to replace a stripped OEM front hub screw on my #2 Volcano EXP so decided to go with the full steering/hub rig for the #2 truck.Everything fits correctly, purple anodizing is exact color match as well. Note that the bearings/hub carriers are a tight fit with better tolerances than a competing kit I had purchased for a different rig.It doesn’t take too long to install everything but requires a fairly full tear down to get the steering bits replaced. No big deal though. Good opportunity to make sure the flywheel and other parts are in good repair.For the price of replacing OEM plastic parts with anodized AL bits this is pretty much a no-brainer. Especially compared to what we used to pay for the sorts of swag parts 15 years ago, and throw in new bearings (OEM doesn’t have ball bearings for the smaller rings either, so that’s another upgrade).Good stuff.

Good upgrade but there is some play...
Love the upgrade. Got these cause the plastic knuckles stripped out after crashing. Nice upgrade especially now that there are actual bearings in each hub not greased bushings. The only fault I have is the mounting at the control arms has a ton of lateral play. I had to make thin plastic washees to firm it up but so far so good
