Must they be silver?

Top Force, Manta Ray, Hummer, DF01, Ta01, TA02, TA02W, TA02T, FF01 -- All use the the same part.

Alternatively, you could use the CC01 hub as well, which also carries the same dimensions/geometry:

*CORRECTION: As Dutch_rc has so kindly pointed out, the CC01 hubs use much larger diameter hinge pins, so they would NOT be compatible!

CC-01 parts are not an exact match - the holes for the shafts are 1mm larger.

Ah yes, thank you for the correction! I forget that the CC01 use those silly steel weights for lower hinges! :ph34r:

I only know because I ordered some for my DF-01 at some point (I wanted black). :rolleyes:

They can be used though, with some 4mm OD / 3mm ID tubing. :)

Does it matter that the mounting hole for the tie rod is on the top as opposed to the side as per kit hubs???? :unsure:

And YES, they do have to be silver as I've got the Knuckles in silver and would like the Hubs to match!!! :D

Nah, the pivot point center is still the same; I think it's just a matter of design aesthetics.

After having a quick search for the part in question, I'm a bit surprised there isn't more inventory to choose from... A ball-raced c-hub is a pretty standard choice among hop-ups for this chassis. Why resellers aren't capitalizing on this is beyond me :blink:

If like me, somebody wants a set of these, found them on ebay from a seller in Hong Kong called RCWorld,
