|  Bent rod ends on shocks
I just installed axial BTA kit and it just barely hits my shocks. i have my C's on the right way. but im running my lower links towards the outside closer to the tire and the shocks inside. i believe axial wants you to have it setup the other way around but i get better articulation with the links on the outside. so i decided to put the angled rod ends axial has on the bottom of my shock to get it away from the axle just a little more. now everything clears great with no binding. does anyone see an issue with this or are they weaker then the straight ones? |

Link end should be fine but the links on the out side will limit the steering and bind the tires harder into the links. That's why they run them inside the shocks.

so the best thing would probably just buy a delrin skid plate that moves the links in where they bolt to the chassis as well so i get good steering and articulation? cause witht he links on the outside i have just about 90* of artic. which is why i dont want them on the inside like the kit says

90 degrees of flex is way too much. It looks really cool but serves no real purpose. the most you should need is 60 degrees or less. More steering is always better than more flex. |
