|  4-link Question
I understand that putting a 4-link suspension on the back end of my Axial Scorpion will eliminate a lot of the torque twist that I'm getting. I'm wondering what the same 4-link set up in the front will do. Is it helpful to have it in the front as well, or a waste of time and money? The reason I ask is because I'm about to buy a link mount and am wondering if I should buy two.  Thanks! Jason |

I'm gonna find out today if it was worth it for my basher. I put this together last week and after some tweaking I'm pretty happy. Link setup on TCS 4 link plates and boulder chassis I lost a little bit of articulation compaired to stock.

I run 4 link front and rear. I don't know that there is any rear hard benefit to a front 4 link, other than it being a stronger setup.

yeah the main tyhings i noticed is teh rear helped with twist a lot, and the front just made it a hell of a lot more solid, with just a little bit of articulation loss, but just a minute amt.

|  Ahh, just do the front too, and keep everything uniform. |

doing some adjustments you should be able to get that articulation back. with my truck and strc 4 link plates i can get 90 degrees articulation (granted the truck loses all stability).

You don't need all that articulation anyway! Who cares if you lose 5-10 degres. It might help in the long run, keep a tire from dropping into a hole! I've got 4 link front and rear and the whole truck just seems more solid. My 2 cents.
