I run 4 link front and rear with no issues. A lot of people like the 4 link rear 3 link with pan hard in front. Good luck!!!

On my SCX-10, the stock "Y" link in the front wore out quickly at the diff end, so I used the parts that were leftover and converted it to 4-link. | |

I found out today that the 3-link or Y-link allows quite a bit of torque or axle twist. I was constantly on three wheels going up a obstacle. The other SCX-10 was setup the same as mine (except motor and ESC) and stayed planted. I am going to 4-link the rear ASAP as I was always rolling over on steep climbs. It would actually push the rear out and make me miss the line I wanted. This is on smooth rock and steep ledges.

I just recently converted from the y link front and rear to four link front and rear - climbing up steep inclines as well as running over bigger rocky terrain is vastly improved, almost like a different truck. Should have been the way I built it if I had known. |

Cms and anything but a panhard bar will give you bump steer, if you don't care go 4 link.

| Re: Ylink/3link or 4link The kit comes with the links you just have to go get the hardware to do it but I can say I run 4 link ls front and rear and I like it more than the 3 link. |
