|  scx10 to LR3 - Shorting links Excuse my english ... Hi, I'veen trying to shorten the wheel base of an scx-10 from 29 cm to 26,5 cm to fit a LR3 newbright body. I've done new links shorters, upper an lower (1,25 cm each) and joined again in the car and the wheel base did not change as much as I thought Does anyone have the exact length of the upper and lower links? Do I have to make new holes in the chassis to fix in a new place? If you have pictures better to understand ... Thanks, pipo |

| Since the links are triangulated you lose some of the effect of shortening your links. You will probably need to go to a 4-link to keep from binding the 3 link when shortening the links. |

| I just shortened the rear links to 70mm on my scx10.... seems to work just fine. I did loose some articulation, but since you won't get proper tire tuck on a LR3, it works out just fine. You'll also have to hack off a bit of the upper tri-link piece, can't tell you how much, just trial and error it. Had mine out on the rocks yesterday and you'll love it when you get it done!   |
