Default 4-link truss for Honcho

I know the regular scx10 WB uses extra 20mm post, what would you use for a honcho then?

I used 102mm Traxxas Revo Alum. red links with Jato ends . Just because I had the laying around . I found this to give me a great pinion angle . I just painted them gun metal to match .

I used 96mm axial lower links and it was a great angle as well with the 4link truss

I looked on Axial's site for a 4 link truss but can't find it. Where can I find one?

I got three sets of them off of ebay for $5 each, and each one came with a set of the gate markers also.

Is there any specific reason why you feel it performs better. Was going to get the r2j, so before i purchase was curious why you say this.

I have not had the axial one, but the one R2J sells keeps the uppers and lowers the same length.

Yes I'm curious as well. The basis of the design was to have equal length upper in which puts the uppers more over the center of the axle. Much better geometry. On testing with my own rig I decided to cut some of the rear cross member out for clearance, my links are on top of mount.

I am trying to get my 4 link right. Trying to convert a TR to a 4 linked honcho. Any help would be awesome.

reason i say it was better is because i ran the r2j one then i noticed, just zach using the axail one so i gave it a shot to to test them both and it seems the r2j one sits a little high and the axail one sits perfect in the center of the axle just below the rear diff, MPO

Isn't the 4 link truss supposed to go on top of the diff.?

It does. It sits right above the diff.
