Default Bent Delrin Links
Hey guys, where is everyone getting those nice Bent Delrin Lower Links from? I searched and googled it any didn't find anything, maybe I'm searching the wrong thing?

How strong are these links? Do they bend at all?

THANKS!

I got mine from Kamikaze here on the site... and so far, they are awesome for what I do and were reasonably priced.

Yea I've seen there's (kinda thick and squared), but I've been seeing the round ones. Seen them in white and black, almost look like aluminum links but a tad meatier. I know for sure they're not aluminum links with Bic pens over them too lol, I know someone will mention that.

Do those Kamikaze links work with stock Axial Rod Ends?

Sorry for the noob questions lol

No, I needed the traxxas ends, which IMO are better. Yeah, they are thick and square, but I don't comp (yet at least), but I don't really see a downside to them. They slide really well over stuff and and barely show any signs of wear.

Ok, what type? The long ones? and I'm assuming you can get them anywhere...

Thanks a million... again.... you've helped me with a bunch of stuff in the past.

I ordered from Tower - Traxxas Rod Ends w/Hollow Balls Large Revo (12)

Not sure what the Traxxas P/N is, but on tower their stock number is: LXHGB7

Glad I can be some help, I am still new to crawling, but was into nitro monster trucks for a long time. So I am still learning as well.

Sweet. I'm looking to do all 4 links. I want to go all High Clearance, is that ok? Or should the front get the Medium Clearance ones?

I went with all high clearance links, though like I said, I am new to crawling and don't comp (yet). I just crawl on my own large rock pile I made. I am sure others here could probably answer this better.

I have an Axial RTC, and just looking at it, it looks like the shocks/springs will be awfully close. Do yours interfear at all?

I moved my lower links to the inside of the chassis at the skid plate and I also changed where they mount on the axle using some spacers and longer screws.

So for this set, all I need are 2 4 link axle plates and some stock Axial Rod Ends?


Using this 4 link plate - http://xtreme-rc-hobbies.net/store/p...roducts_id=357
(My BTA steering plate already has the spot for the 4 link setup)

Just order the 5/16" delrin rod from McMaster-Carr amd buy JeepinDouhg's link drill bushing. Make them however long you want and use a heat gun to bend them.
