| I want aluminum links
I want to upgrade my links to aluminum ones on my scx10 Jeep. I have seen some people make their own. For the price and time to make my own, I think I will just go and buy a set instead of making them. Which ones do you guys recommend, Axial or something else?

Got a link? Will those kits replace all links on my truck? Front, rear and steering? |

For that much.. one could get brake line/tubing, allthread and few bags of rod ends to make links for 3-4 crawlers.

| Re: I want aluminum links Amen bro! People think it's just too hard to make them. 8/32 all thread, 1/4 brake line, revo ends and a half hour of time is all it takes.

If you're feeling crafty and want metal link's then save some $ by making them yourself... If you're willing to spend $ on link's, don't settle for aluminum (or stainless which is softer than normal steel and may break at the threads), go for broke and invest in Titanium... last set you will ever buy! Of the 2 set's Natedog linked too, I like the Blue Monkey's because the lower suspension links are bent to provide better ground clearance. I am kinda surprised Vanquish has not stepped up and introduced a pre-bent link set for us Scx10 owners yet... they offer a bent link set for the Wraith...? Come on Vanquish! These would sell like hotcakes ETA: I just posted this suggestion in the V.P. New idea thread Last edited by BodiBuilt; 01-31-2013 at 12:32 PM. | |

Made mine for my Honcho last night. All suspension links and steering cost about $40 and about 2 hours of my time. Turned out really nice. NOTErized! |

Revo links cost me 9$ All thread cost me 2.50$ at Home Depot And a piece of brake line cost me 5.49$ at car quest So. 18$ I got aluminum steering upgrade when I got the truck. So you would need another bag of revo ends but I have plenty of leftover rod and b line so even then it's under 30$. With plenty of left over ball ends I don't doubt you can spend 40$. But you don't have to Ti links are sexy. But way out of my price range | |
