Traxxas Revo rod ends, 8-32 all thread and 3/8" (I think, I used 1/4") brake line for the links. MIP driveshafts seem to be a good item,lots of people here using them. |

Those are built to length so you just build whatever you need. You can also contact R2j in the vendor section - he makes custom stainless links and 4-link trusses. Mip shafts are great, I've also heard others have great success with "maxx shafts made easy." Cheaper but it involves a bit of work on your part. |

If you want rugid and bolt in, then R2J makes some nice stainless link kits. I just finished installing partial kits on my SCX and Wraith and both were top notch. Yes, you can 4 link the front. You just need another plastic axial 4-link truss, and a couple Traxxas 105mm T-maxx turnbuckles threaded all the way in work perfect for uppers. The issue with the Axial link kit is that it is still only 3mm rod ends, which have a short service life. The larger Revo or Jato joints last much longer and take a 4mm setscrew. If you bust those, RPM makes a heavy duty version. The only aftermarket driveshafts that I can recommend are the MIP's. I've destroyed all versions of the plastic Traxxas shafts, a set of Junfacs, and finally got the MIP's. Their only downside is they are kinda heavy. |

Well I actually had the day off today so I decided to just make some. They came out alright, I guess I didn't cut all the bars the exact same so it has a slight "dog leg". I'm prolly gonna redo them tomorrow and take my time since I have a better idea of the out come lol. All I had time to do was the rear 4 link uppers and lowers. Tomorrow I'm gonna do the lower fronts and try to redo the rear. Also I'm gonna order the MIPS driveshafts since that's what u guys recomemend. Thx for all the info guys/gals it helped me out greatly!!! |
