Default Converting a SCX-10 TR to a Honcho

Does anyone know what length links I would need to extend my wheelbase and 4 link the front and rear?

Thanks

the TR comes with the four ink trusses for the front and rear, and i think you can just buy longer inks, not sure what lenght you will need.

I believe you need 106mm on the rear and 98mm on the front. Axialracing.com will give you the parts break down of the honcho so that will give you part numbers of the links you need. Also if you convert to 4 link in the front you will have to move your servo to the frame.

Same chassis just short links = shorter wheelbase

106mm bottom and 91mm top for the rear should stretch out the back enough to make it a 12" wheelbase... but you'd still need to stretch the front.

you can leave the front at 98mm links (stock) and rake the rear out with 104mm links, the Axial Trail Ready has a 4link in a lowwer link parts tree that works great, and as fare as the front go's. I'd get a HandBrothers servo mounting (kit). It'll move your servo up to the chassie and give you a track bar for the front. really scale looking and it works I've done it to two of my scx10's now.

From what I have seen you don't have to move the servo. I have seen a few on here that have not moved the servo. Don't really want to move it I just like to trail ride with my truck not comping it, that is what the berg is for.

For the rear 4link on my Honcho I use another set of 98mm axial rods. The lower should be what I have listed on my other thread. For the front upper you will need approx 87mm for the uppers to work with the axial 4link truss.

If you need more help PM me, I did the 4 link on the rear of mine 2 different ways and set up the front for the 4link, just waiting on another truss
