I really like the tsc stuff. I feel it is worth the wait for the quality you will receive.

send me a 12 pack of heineken and I'll send a set of 4 link plates. On a serious note, get a piece of 3mm aluminum (1/8") and you can make your own if you cannot purchase locally

I would have to drive alone since my effort to fab one myself would result in a colossal clusterf***. It would be so bad that anyone that looked on it would die instantly from pity for the 3 year old that had tried to make a simple bracket.

I think I will wait.

The Delrin rear 4 link plate at Tcs is still available....or just get two front plates and use one in the rear...then you can mount your battery or electronics on the plate...

I just built mine out of carbon fiber. You could use delrin, aluminum, etc. It's pretty easy to make yourself.

No, don't get the Delrin plastic 4 link; get aluminum only. Too weak. Mine broke after only 2 hours of easy usage with no crashes, tumbles or abuse.

I used a delrin Boomerang for many, many months. Went to aluminum for the coolness.

Just sayin...

Here's another option for a 4 link plate, if you don't want to wait.

My rear is still holding up ok. Front broke in less than 2 hours.

I had to drill another hole and lengthened the 1 upper arm a bit to make due till new part arrives.
