scale 4 link, help needed

[LS1Armyboy]

ok, well it seems that the leaf setup on my trail finder isnt going to work (wheelbase too short) unless rc4wd can think of something.
so on to the 4 link, i have scale axles on the trail finder and they dont exactly have a set up for a 4 link, so i was hoping someone could show me some pics of how you guys did it. no axial axles tho that's too easy.

Um. You say axial axles are too easy? Yet you want someone else to show you how to do your scale axles. If you would have just used the Search feature you would have seen the diagram I had drawn up to help people with 4 link design. Ill repost it here for you tho.


Hope this helps

i was basically talking about how to mount the rods. since my axle is really set up for leafs, so im stuck on mounting issues

So make a link bar. Are the axles drilled? Post a pick since no one has a clue what axles you have.

If they are the ones on RC4WD trailfinder kit, they make a 4 link mount for the axles. Not sure what axles you have tho.

Heres a link bar with shock mount as well. You could make it how ever you need to fit both upper and lower links. Just take some metal and imagination and DoEt.




This may not be exactly what you need but you get the idea right.

Heres a pic from RC4WD
