:-PHi

i just wanted to show my work

[neilus]

Looks good.

[Rc Casper]

Thanks

you should make your loinks come out straight, or just leave them like that but it looks good

Yeah, I would move the lower links in where the shocks are and the shocks outside the mount.

those ones are ok i meant to say your uppers, if u run them straight out its suppose to help with climbing and torque twist , but your plate looks good so might as well leave it

The angled uppers keep the axle from moving side to side. To run them parallel the lowers need to be angled (narrow at the skid). I have run my axial with double triangulation but I haven't tried just the lowers. My moa is set up that way in the rear now though. I don't think the triangulation has much to do with torque twist (squat/anti-squat does) but it does have alot to do with axle swing/steer. At least that's the theory as I understand it.

Good Job!

so you run all 4 links paralelle? thats the worst set up possible for a link suspentiion, nothing is goin to keep your axle centered and the ass end will wander all over the place.... if any thing is stoping it , it would be that ur link ends are binding becuase of the length differance between upper and lowers

double triangulation is where its at

Keeping the lower arms in on the chassis and uppers out on the axle is going to keep the rig more stable because of the roll axis of the center of gravity. It is going to keep the rear end in the most stable position.

Double triangulation may help everything move smoother though and could potentially eliminate more torque twist.
