Default Quick link help please.

Ok so this its what I need. I need some measurements (english please but metric is fine what every is easier) of straight links for the scx10 with the 12.3"? wheel base.
I would like the lengths of the lowers, rear uppers for a for link set up, and front upper for a cms panhard with true 3 link set up.
The measurement of the length of the shaft it's self with out the thread and with the the rod ends installed. Please specify whether eye to eye or just the shaft.
Many thanks.

Do four link so you dont need the panhard bar. Plus you ll get more articulation. I am useing it, and I love it.

You can get the link lengths from the 12.3" WB metal link kit.

I have 4 link both front and back to get the articulation.

He didn't ask for opinions, he asked for measurements

Without taking my Honcho apart, here's the PDF of the instructions. The lengths of the links are in there

The upper 3 link uses 60mm rods. Front lowers are 98mm. Rear lowers are 106mm

The link I posted has all of the length lengths for both 3-link and 4-link.
How is that not giving him the lengths?

I got a special machined panhard that won't get in the way. I'm trying a few set ups to see what I like that's why I needed the remembering cause I'm making everything myself.
Thank you guys

Here is something that I find useful:

I made adjustable setup links using 2 pieces of threaded rod and a connector for each link so that I could change the length of the link.

I adjust the length until I get it where I want it and then use it as a template to cut the rod for the real links that I am making.

Helps a lot if you keep changing link length or bodies.
