Can you shorten the TRX-4 wheelbase below 312mm? Hello everyone! I searched but did not find any other thread about this. I'm thinking about getting myself a TRX-4 (kit version). Only thing is that the body i want to use has a 295mm wheelbase (the Volvo-body I use on my kyx http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/1-9-s...p21-sugga.html ). Do anybody have an idea on if it's possible to shorten the TRX-4's wheelbase and if so, what would be the best way of doing so? One idea that popped up in my mind was that I maybe could use this linkage set from axial, even though it's rather expensive. Could this work..? http://www.axialracing.com/products/AX30549 Thankful for any advice what so ever :) |
Re: Can you shorten the TRX-4 wheelbase below 312mm? Here's a thread from the Trx-4 section talking about this. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/traxx...wheelbase.html Other then that I haven't seen allot of people going shorter then 12" WB. Making your own custom links might be your best bet. There's a few ways of going about doing that. Harley Designs on YouTube has a good video on making your own links. Good luck! Look forward to seeing where you go with it |

If I decide go ahead, I'll probably will do a short build thread on here. |
Re: Can you shorten the TRX-4 wheelbase below 312mm? Just swapping the rod ends for Revo ends should shorten it quite a bit. |

Re: Can you shorten the TRX-4 wheelbase below 312mm? That Axial link kit sucks. It's expensive and it includes the crappy Axial rod ends. You could probably get somebody to make you a custom set from stainless steel for about the same price as that Axial set. |
Re: Can you shorten the TRX-4 wheelbase below 312mm? Or just make your own links, 8-32 stainless all thread, 1/4 OD stainless sleeve .035 wall thickness, Revo rod ends. Make pretty much any wheelbase you want. |
Re: Can you shorten the TRX-4 wheelbase below 312mm? Great feedback guys, thanks! As Jato and Kincer said, I'm getting more into the idea of making links. Only problem is that I have no good tools nor space to make them but I might have a friend or two to help me out :) |

Re: Can you shorten the TRX-4 wheelbase below 312mm? If you have a dremel like tool you can make your own links..... really that easy. https://youtu.be/N-n_8qglh6w |
Re: Can you shorten the TRX-4 wheelbase below 312mm? Ive never understood why people make links that way honestly. Way easier and much stronger just buying 3/16 or 1/4 rod and turning some threads long enough for Traxxas Jato ends. But that way does work so cant knock it too much"thumbsup" |
