ok so i have been hella busy with work and such, was waiting on parts till this past weekend... i got some goodies from RC4WD.. the new improved plastic links are great... and can use 4-40 all-thread sleeved with 3/8 brake line... very very stout.. i feel that 8-32 sleeved is way overkill, and ur limited to only traxxas rod ends... with 4-40 sleeved sure its smaller but u can use axial,and rc4wd rod ends and use those special bent ones..





Front axle is now done... Starting Rear axle 2marrow.. stay tuned!

Comments welcome!

I like the write up you did on locked up. RCC has the best vendors hands down and deserve the credit, no doubt. Some of the larger outfits would scoff at the thought of doing the same.
