Default Dingo 4 link ?

The stock plastic links that came extra in the kit are too long. Anyone know what length the top ones need to be on the rear. Better yet anyone have some?

Best I can figure I need some links eye to eye about 80-81 mm. Any ideas who makes em on the cheap. About 10 mm shorter than the lowers......

You can always build you own links. There is a lot of info on how to do that in the how to section.

I found the same problem with my Dingo when trying to 4link with the extra links supplied in the kit. I came up with ~ 4.25" eye to eye (sorry I'm sticking to standard units for now). I went to the hardware store and picked up some 3/16 x .049 aluminum tube, $2.50. Cut it to 3 3/8" tap it and the extra eye links for a 4-40 install a set screw and assemble. Hope this helps

Here are the link measurements from Axials website. I use rear lower links on top in the rear for a better pinion angle.

Yeah that does me no good as the kit now only comes with the cheesy plastic y links....how hard would it have been for axial to include 4 link links....also she short ones provided push the pinion angle wayyyy up.
