Default converting three link to four link

im new to rock crawling just bought a axial ax-10 rtc i want to change the three link to a four link on the front and rear how easy is it and what parts do i have to buy to do it ive already added 8 ounces of weight to the front tires and 4 ounces to the rear and cut the foams to make the tires a bit softer replaced the stock servo with a hitec 645 and notched the skid plate to put the lower links inside the chassis any other ideas on some easy and cheap mods

4 link is easy. try TCS, or http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...light=template
You can play with the link length to adjust your driveling angle. You can buy aluminum tube at most hobby shops, and get yourself a 3mm tap, and some set screws to make your own links, or just buy Axial links, and link ends. Use the search button, and you will find endless info on how to maximize your AX-10 setup.

Another super easy, and cheap trick, to (slightly) change the link size is with different thicknesses of small washers Once you find those measurements out you can very easily adjust the car to compensate

Building links is easy too. You can use Delrin Rod and drill the ends for set screws or use 8/32 all thread and 1/4" brake line and make your links. SUPER EASY!

I generally make my own links, used both aluminum and delrin. Aluminum tends to hang up quicker and can be bent due to a nasty tumble. The delrin is easy to work with and is not much more expensive than the aluminum, but tends to pre-load when put in a bind and springs unpredictively. As far as 4-link plates, get one with plenty of mounting options so you get to tinker !
