Default Longer front or rear links - or same length

Hey guys

What do you think about lower link lengths. Longer in front? Or rear? Or the same length?

I am building up one of Mayhems LS2.0 chassis' and am curious on your thoughts about this.

It's a shafty

Thanks

Same length. Your drive shafts don't like to be too long or too short.

Do a search for 60/40 setups. Usually its the longer links in the rear.

Why not? My rear driveshaft is nearly twice as long as my front...

I run longer links in the rear. Its a 60/40 setup, and to make sure the rear drive shaft is good I run a maxx shaft in the rear and a pede shaft in the front with rings on it.

definitely longer in the rear. When you articulate more of your flex will come from the rear. Since you're weight bias is toward the front, the extra flex in the rear will not be as apt to flop you.
