Default equal lower link length

I have an AX10 with a reign widemouth chassis, my rear lower links are longer then my fronts(like on a FF4). Would this have any ill effect on my crawling abilities? I didn't find any post about anyone talking about this.

If your front links are shorter that will move your weight forward. Not a bad thing. That's the way I have mine set up too.

It certainly will not hinder your crawling, as Super said, it shifts weight forward. It should climb better, have zero effect on side hill either positive or negative, it may affect dig descents a bit, but only if the rear tires catch something. Softer suspension helps even that out

Should be good. I run losi golds all the way around, VERY soft, I manage torque twist via equal length upper rear links, under drive rear gear set, and 60wt oil in the left rear shock.

My FF-4 does things I have never seen an ax-10 do before. I have had to flip it over and show people the center shafts to make them believe it was a shafty
