Hey gang,

I've seen many mod tlt's which use maxx turnbuckles as the 4-links, but nobody has mentioned the wheelbase with this length. What is the wheel base after this mod.

My first usage of T-Maxx links (106mm bottom) and the stock chassis gave me a wheelbase of around 11" to 11.25"

T-Maxx links (106mm bottom) and longer chassis gave me around 11.75 wheelbase.

T-Maxx links (106mm bottom) combined with new bracket location, longer chassis and extended Pede sliders I have a wheelbase of 13" give or take a few mm.

I could go with the 116mm links and my current set up and actually extend my TLT to around a 14" wheelbase if I wanted, but that would start to take away from the stability of the truck and would put to much of a gap between the front and rear tires.

I am at 12.375 for the wheel base. Seems like a good one for 6" and 5" tires in my opinion. I will see on a big truck, I am starting that at 16"s.

Stock TLT links are 45mm (top) and 57mm (bottom). This is directly from the manual.
