|  Attaching the links inboard?
I did a search and found a photo that showed the bottom links inboard on an AX-10. Unless the full kit AX-10 has a different bottom (skid) plate than my ARTR, it looks like all this person did was cut out the first link mounting hole in the bottom plate and some of the plate itself and move the link inboard with appropriate screw/nut hardware through the first side frame hole. Then they used a small pan head screw to keep the bottom plate attached to the side frame using the 'second' side frame/bottom plate mount hole...Have I got this right? If not, would someone please enlighten me...:-P

Double triangulation is best IMO.  | |

I would suggest this though: http://www.tcscrawlers.com/TCS-Crawl...n-p-16695.html It includes all the hardware you need to move the links in at the axles and gives you a new Delrin skid which is much slicker than your stocker. | |

Thank you. I like this set up very well. I've tried mounting links inboard,parrellel and double triangulated. The double triangulated seems to work best for me. | |

raptorman57 on your rig do you have spacers between the link and side plates?. i like the look of your double triangulation and would like to do that on mine.

On the uppers? No,the rod ends are bolted straight to the plates. Lowers? No,the bolts run through the plate,through the skid and then through the rod end. | |
