I wasn't feeling the delrin rear links, so I bent up these rear ti-links. Also bent the front links to shorten them a bit. Ride height: front skid link bolt. 2 5/8" Rear skid link bolt. 3 1/16" |

That link setup looks much better. I'm especially liking the front bends. |

Damn! She's sitting all stink bug style like a 72' Nova my uncle had. Lookin good Martin. I agree wit Ev. My current bias is actually right on the lower link end themselves & she feels good there. Of course other factors go into where a good bias is for a rig so you may find that you like it further forward or further back. J.D. |

It should be the Rig without wheels,tires,foams, KW is 2 lbs 8 oz. Those wheels and tires must weigh in @ 2 lbs 3 oz.. At the very least rig should stay planted on the rocks ??? My next hop-up to this rig will be KW & wheels. | |

Looking good buddy. Glad to see your finally swapping out the DH's. I know JD snapped a set of these in the 1/16" version. It looks like your center section may be thicker? Hopefully they hold up but Im skerd for ya. |

They're fine. I've beat the shit outta them. Had a few good falls got tire wedged in cracke and rig fall away from it binding it up pretty badly, and no failures yet.

Ya I've never been known to baby my trucks, and I promised Travis I'd "test" these. The last time I promised that I slapped in 4s and snapped a chassis in half, but that's why he has me run em through the ringer. To make sure they're good to go when he does start selling them |
