I was running my car outside on my concrete but the concrete is rough ,i.e. holes, and i crack my right knuckle and split my left one. the right knuckle has no screw because when it crack it fell out and for now the left one is ok but i dont have the $ for alloy ones

so what do you guys think?

I HAVE A 6 CELL SKYLINE, WITH A REDLINE STAGE 5 MOTOR. SHOULD I UPGRADE MY KNUCKLES? HAVENT BROKEN ANY YET BUT IT SOUNDS POSSIBLE.

I go by the break it and replace with aluminum theory. If it breaks, swap to billet, and if it doesn't, leave it alone.

i agree with you viperdout, but i cant get aluminum knuckles because i dont have a paypal account or a credit card also i dont have a lot of money

do you think RS would give me knuckles off of a defective car?

I would buy aluminum knuckles, but you say that you can't. Why do you drive your car on such bad surface :-? cuz i drive my RC on my driveway and it has a $hitz load of cracks and I ain't broke nothin' yet.
