they do not fit. it is close and there is something with the bearing spacing or size that makes them not fit the MGT axels. I could be wrong give em a shot.

Tower Hobbies has a few in stock.

They are mostly the same dimensions. The primary difference is the shoulder on the CVD to the drive pin (bearing spacing). You can use the Maxx or Maxx replacement knuckles, but you will need to use a bearing spacer so that it'll not compress them and run at an angle causing binding and premature wear.

Please help! I am trying to install a set of T-Maxx steering knuckles but everytime I tighten the nut on the wheel it binds. I know that there needs to be a spacer but where?

Thanks
