Default 30* Links

So I was sitting around today after I accidentally submerged my crawler, and was thinking. Are the 30* links I'm seeing everywhere the same as the stock link, just bent? Or are they longer? If they're not longer I'm just going to bend these and see what happens, thanks!

They are only a few mm longer. Seems like 3mm longer, but I may be wrong.

I think the stock lowers are 98mm and the 30° lowers are 101mm - Axial ones, that is.

the bent ones are longer, to contain the bend and keep the same total length...if you bent the stock ones you would be shorter. simple logic.

Stock straights equal 12.5 wb. If you bend the stock links to 30* you will have a 12.25 wb. That is what me and a friend figured out anyway.

I actually laughed out loud when i first read this. If I submerged my rig, bent links would be the last thing on my mind! All joking aside, You could bend the fronts and get longer rears to get more weight on the front axle.
