Is there a US distributer who sells these or are they only sold by TC right now?
 
Im not sure, but @Built4SpeedRC should be able to sort them for you 👍
I got some for my kronos xtr a couple months ago. I think the trucks use the wide version. Cost me about $25 for shipping to US(from Belgium). They sure are beefy👌 here's the weight difference.

Hope there so good we almost never hear about pillow balls piping out again.
Amen to that! TBH, I have probably only run maybe 6 packs thru the xtr to date. Never actually popped any pivot balls myself but figured I might as well be proactive.
I bought the xtr in November last year and between being so cold outside here, and having so many rigs to choose from, I just haven't put much time on the xtr yet.. waiting for spring to give it a thorough beat down. Also, I need to get a couple 6s brick packs to run in the xtr.. I can't comfortably fit 2 3s packs in the tray. It runs well on 4s but really needs 6 for maximum sends IMO.
 
My free upgrade HD Steering blocks arrived today, i thought I would post a comparison with the older style blocks for anyone who was unaware of them…..

Older blocks fitted to my Radix

Freebie. Gotta say TC offering the upgrade parts for free is pretty stellar.

I have a bunch in stock, single and triple packs, both versions for the buggy or MT’s. Let me know if I can help. https://www.built4speedrc.com/?s=HD+steering+block&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1
The MT's are wider than the ones in the Sketer, correct? I just bought a set of the older style because I was unaware there were new ones. 😖

Yeah, there are two styles, one is wider than the other. The wider ones fit the Punisher, Kronos, Dementor and Jambo (C-00180-108-1). The skinnier HD steering blocks fit the Shogun, Muraco, Radix's, Python, and now the Sketer (C-00180-009-1).

For the Sketer? If so, they should be ok. Was really just the v1 and v2 of 6s line that was upgraded? Apparently the radio 4 as well?

Sketer should have the beefed up version?

Yes, the Sketer has the 009-1 HD steering blocks out of the box.

The "-1" after the part number denotes the upgraded version of the steering blocks. From what I have seen so far, the Skeeter and the '22 XTR are the only ones currently shipping with the HD hubs out of the box, but I am sure that they will all start shipping with he HD stuff soon.
 
I meant to say I wasn't aware there were wider updated hubs at the time I ordered my Kronos, Jambo,... etc ones.
I followed the suggestion I saw on @razorrc +30mm video.
