moving links way inboard ??

[solomon7]

I've seen alot of guys moving their lower links in like the GC-1. I'm wondering with a 3link setup if this would still lessen axle steer/sway without straightening the uppers into a 4 link. Does anyone have any binding with the driveshaft or dig collar? Thanks all!

i don't have a dig setup but i have no binding issues or driveshaft problems at all, also very little axle steer.

i have the links that way with an r2d with no binding at all.

I've narrowed my chassis to 2" wide and changed out to double triangulated 4 link with equal length uppers/lowers. I like it allot better. no binding at all with links,shafts or my homebrew dig.

When you narrowed it , cutting away alot of the lower part of the chassis, does it compromise rigidity? Is there any more "chassis flex" torsional or lateral?

Also my collar is 1/2 inch around and travels all the way to the yoke on the tranny. Ya think that the links would clear a full rise on that side. Mine are bent but I could use straight ones in back if it's worth it. Thanks!

I've not noticed any. I made 4 cross braces out of 1/4" delrin plate to mount my ESC,Rx,and regulator on. That seems to be keeping the chassis pretty rigid.

My collar goes from yoke to yoke. Haven't seen and issues yet. Every set up will vary a little. You could try to make a carbon copy of my rig by looking at pictures.....it'll work differently.

dig it. Thanks for the input. Just trying to figure out how far in to move 'em.
