Bent links - rear only?

It also depends on if you use the straight rod ends or the bent rod ends and what ride height your chassis is at. The taller your chassis is the shorter the wheelbase. I am sitting at 2 3/8" ride height, have Axial bent links at both ends, and have the shorter straight rod ends at one end. Put's me right at 12 5/8" WB. I am going to put the straight rod ends on the other end too because I think they are less prone to breaking and it should shorten my wheelbase up just a RCH

Similarly, I am running the standard bent rod ends, 4 TCS bent links, and a ride height of 2 7/8", and running at 12 1/2". I guess that if I was to lower my height by another 1/2" that I might hit the 12 5/8" length.

You need to put you battery plate back in to stiffen up your chassis.

No sir, that's what the 4 55mm rods are for. It's stiffer than it was before.
