[KenDobson]

Those are tight! I think I'm going to pick up a pair, at least for the rear.... look lower on the main page, Axial 55t motor as well.

[mtnyote]

looks like a lot of money for something that you can do at home, better

i thought i saw somone post a pic on these forums of somone running those lower links at a comp

if i remember correctly they were the blue ones

[CrawlinBob]

They look cool as heck, but...aren't they a little...overdesigned. i mean, who needs that thick of a link when a delrin rod does just fine.

Because they look cool .
They wont actually be any better than the bent tube lowers but who cares. I might get a set but only if I can re-tap them to M4.

wasting money....

[Dickie691986]

the only benefit that I can see from the design is that they wont bend as easy. with their first set of bent links I bent 3 sets of them. being that these are alot thicker at the bend means they "should be" a little more stable unlike the other ones having a slight kink at the bend causing them to be weak. just my thought.

look nice but too $$

[Nachies]

What's the point! Yah' they look cool. But who cares?

[O.C.D.]

Wow, now your Axial can look like a 72' Ford with 14"s of lift and arms with holes in them!!!

I like this: "Machined slightly shorter than current bent links to allow for more wheelbase adjustments"

Meaning that they are now shorter like their original links should have been to maintain a 12.5" wheelbase for comps.

But for a bling factor they are cool. Can't hurt em for trying - we will see them here.

[Nachies]

Yah' they look cool. With the neat little holes machine in to the cool little links…

From my experience you shouldn't be bending any stock axial links while crawling... Bent or straight!

My truck has been dropped off a 5' + retaining wall, over & over again on to rock and concrete.. With out bending a single link. But while crawling you can bend the all thread between the links and the rod ends.. Once you do this a couple times you'll toss the Axial links out all together and never look back..

So for $35 dollars your getting a screaming deal! Your get a wider link, less of a bend angle, with more surface area to slide on. Oh' and you'll still using the 3M all tread. Too me this sounds like a great combo. You should by them..

nice but way to much money for them. ill stick with my tube bent links that work just fine and are way cheaper.

Aluminum links
If they were made from DELRIN and tapped for 4mm (or 8-32) set screws, I would be very interested. Also, it would be nice if they were available in different lengths, and available in "bent" or "strait"

More link to hang up on rocks and interfere with suspension design tinkering. I don't see the point unless you need a pretty truck.
