The connector won't break. Well, it will be the main issue is the ball pulling through the axle mount. Most just put a washer b/w the screw and the ball to help prevent this. I would just 4-link it, though.

If you do decide on four link, check out this option.

I didn't like mine, so I made a 4link mount for it.

It works well.

I absolutly hate the stock 3 link connector on the axle. The ball works it's self loose just after a few runs :?. I made my own 3 link or you can use the Hand Bros kit. That is the way to go for me.

But, if you are not going to run a Chassis mounted servo, then I would four link it. And the one from R2j is top notch . It is pritty much the same price as the Axial one after you figure in shipping or sales tax, and is a lot stronger.

I have front and rear TCS 4 links on mine. Took some work to get everything to fit without hitting but worth the effort.

That's why I never ran the truck with the 3 link.
