|  Changing RTR links over to aluminum What's the best option to change my RTR plastic links over to all aluminum links?Is Axial the only one that makes a complete kit with the tie rod steering linkage too?  JEFF |

|  Thats funny i just got done putting mine on. I got the STRC AX10 Color Conversion Upgrade and the Axial AX10 Scorpion RTR Hardware Upgrade Kit from rcpcrawlers.com under the Suspension Links and Spacers catigory it costed about $55. The hardware upgrade kit comes with directions so its very easy. The reason why i got the STRC upgrade links is because there $10 cheaper Than the Axial links and it comes with 4 30* bent links instead of 2. Hope this helped,Cody |

| If you get that setup i sugest getting the TCS Crawlers Upgraded Skid Plate for Axial AX-10 Scorpion from tcscrawlers.com for maximum articulation without four linking it or getting a new chassis. Because what i noticed when i put my bent lower links on they dont sit right they almost sit sideways instead of straight up and down wich makes it have a tiny bit less articulation. but with the plate you will get a lot more articulation because it moves the links to the inside of the chassis. |

| I will have to keep those in mind when I upgrade my GF rock crawler. I got her the RTR because while she is out thrashing it if something breaks she can fix it. I'm hopping that will get her more involved in the truck. |

| I just finished putting mine on, axial colour pack and hardware upgradekit, I notice the bent links hit the bottom of the shocks, so I moved them to the outside until I get around to modding my skid to accept the inboard link mount. |

| How much is the skid plate?Would it be the same difference to just buy the Axial links ,price wise?Do the bent links help a lot,I've heard people say it makes your driveshaft hit on rocks more.  THANKS JEFF |
