Check TCS...

I just built their Boulder chassis with an Axial RTC and used their boomerang on the rear and servo/4 link plate up front. Really nice products and awesome customer service.

Try Vanquish. They have one of the best products in the market.

For the Price you cant beat TCS products, But Also the Bender Customs one from Axial is top notch and offers multiple mounting holes.

R2j Kustoms. Delrin ones that have multiple mounting locations.

Once you put your bent lower links on,use this link mount and use your straight lowers as uppers. Equal length triangulated links equals butter smooth suspension with almost zero axle steer. Running this mount,the pinion will be raised up just a touch to help with driveline angles. Having the long uppers will also keep your pinion from digging in the dirt on droop.


Axial rear upper link mount.

The user you speak of is Offroader5. I've got all his templates printed out and in the garage. I haven't really used many, but I do use the link plates.

edit: you can also drill a couple of holes in the stock servo plate and mount the links underneath. Works well and doesn't cost anything.

Axial rear upper link mount.

This is the setup I am running, with my own mount though. It works very well.

Cuz I'm retarded and clicked on the wrong picture I had on it's build file. Oh well, the short bus don't need a dig, it's got a good turning radius already. lol
Apparently I've deleted the picture I was looking for as well. R2j's pic is correct tho, I have a similar one to the above mentioned "crooked" one that has mutiple mounting holes. (with out being crooked)
