unfortunately not. That won't happen until I change out my links, or shorten the ones that I have. Currently my uppers and lowers are too long.

Do you have any suggestions on some links that would make me legal?

Tanis used Traxxas 5318's and came in legal, could try those.

if you still want bent links for breakovers you can bend those.

I have used those too. you can put them in a tubing bender and make your own bent links. Or I think you said you were .2" over 12.5". You could grind .1" off the end of your links and be just right.

helhedded · 10-13-2008, 02:54 PM

okay thanks! do you guys think that I could get by with my dremel rotary tool? hahaha i'm a little lacking in the tool department

CBR · 10-13-2008, 03:00 PM

Yea! if you have a cut-off wheel for your dremel. I use mine for a grinder very often. when I dont want to go outside to use the real one. Or you could use a tubing cutter, I have done that making custom links also.

thanks man! Ihope to make it back soon. I have a bunch of new goodies to test out!

I cut my lowers links last night and changed my uppers. My WB is legal now. This CDW chassis performs so much better than the stock Axial. This chassis is awesome!

I still need to tinker with my front foams a bit. When digging with the rear locked, my fronts don't load up as much as I want them too.

pm me info plz sir

Do you have any suggestions on link/shock placement? My suspension is real stiff. it wants to flip over easily, and the shocks don't want to compress all the way (without force) at full flex. Im using 30wt oil, and my shocks are limited about 5/8 under the pistons. I tried spacers on the upper shock mount, but the problem was still there.

here are some pics

helhedded · 10-15-2008, 10:57 AM

I picked this up yesterday

bcrofts · 10-15-2008, 12:01 PM

space the top of the shocks out some or loosen the up the fuel tubing thats what i would try

tried it once, but trying again won't hurt I suppose. thanks duders

I'm also going to try to run all of my uppers straight, and see if that helps.

list to do:

Space out shocks
run uppers on the outside
re-drill skid ( I drilled my holes way too far forward. I have maybe 1mm of space in between my pinion and frame

)

space the top out or move the bottom in next to the link
