I used to run all 4 lowers bent, untill my newest rig. Now i have all 4 straight with aluminum links. My next project will have bent links, its definitely something thats needed!  |

However, the bent links drop the driveshaft below the links and expose them to scraping..... Then again, the way I crawl, a little more rotational contact from ANYWHERE might help......  | |

I run straight delrin on all fours. I didn't like my drive shaft turning my crawler around with the bent aluminum, plus the aluminum seemed to drag more.

I run bents on my WK. On my AX-10 straight aluminum until about a month ago, I switched to straight delrin.

i run straight links on my swx. on top of the fact that u cant run bent links on the swx, wouldnt run them regardless. you get the same clearance with bent links or str8 links. the difference is that when you have bent links what rubs on the rock is the drive shafts. and when you have str8 links what rubs is the links. i would rather protect my shaft then my links. there is a 90 percent chance i will be switching to delrin strraights though.
