The 4-link truss is so you can have the truck 4-linked front or back, it's better geometry than a 3-link. The TR has 2 4 link trusses as well.

If you go on Axial's site and look at the instruction manual for the Honcho, you can see there aren't any 4-link trusses, just a 3-link.

ok so a good upgrade for the trail honcho would be the 4-link truss for front and rear?

4 link truss rear with the hand bros steering kit front is the best option in my opinion. Either way I do not believe you can't have it in the front without moving the servo anyway.

Nope, because the truss goes over the posts where the servo attaches.

when I install my 4 link truss on scx10 kit, somebody say that the original link 60mm is too short
so I replace the original 60mm. to a new one with 75mm.
After the installation, my rig work fine.
It's not gonna changing the wheel base but it's related to the axle angle.

Is the new hancos links the longer 75mm ones?

I know on axials website in the blog section there is a write up on what you need to use and do to install it on the TR and 1rst SCX. That should carry over to the new one as well. If not its not very hard to make your own links. I did that with my TR and i like it alot better.

Sorry. The 75mm is my custom link.

The original scx has a different wheelbase from the newest honcho scx

The axial 4 link truss WILL work with the servo onhe axle. You can still utilize the front 2 servo mount posts. So 4 link front and rear is doable. I used one on the rear of my honcho and love it. I used 106mm links top and bottom. Didn't do the front because I plan to use the hand bro kit.

I'm going to bump this. I just found out yesterday that these 4 link mounts were made. I have the discontinued kit, so I was stuck with the 3 link

Anyway, does anyone have 2 4-link trusses (need one for each axle) they would like to sell me? ...Or even just one truss?

Right the truss will work front and rear . Look up my JYD build in 1.9 forum . I have been running it for about 2 1/2 years like that .

the 4 link truss IS included in the parts tree for the RTR honcho. I put the extra 4-link truss on when I upgraded my plastic links to aluminum. the only thing you need to install it is 2 extra screws into the front axle if I recall correctly. also, you won't be able to install one of the screws for the servo plate but it doesn't negatively affect the mounting of the plate at all.

uh...why am I replying to a 3 year old thread?

[Armistice]

Because I bumped it for my question, and no one notices the post date, so they reply to the OP rather than the post bumper :P

Yes you can 4 link the front with the supplied truss
