SCX10 Rubicon Steering

[Liv4rc]

I have read and re-read the 10 pages of search results and admit I give up. I have made my own links using 8/3 all thread and tubing - worked great!
I just can not confirm if I will need to bend my steering link. I see the Axial upgrade part is straight, chubs etc.. all stock.
Any guidance would be appriciated. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

you only need to bend them if they touch the diff casing.

No bend needed on a stock Axial Rubicon.

Stock style knuckles you wont have to but if you have high steers then you would have to bend around the servo plate of you dont have CMS style steering Chassis Mount Servo)

If you are using straight ends you will have to bend the cross link a little to clear. If you use offset ends you will not have to bend the link.

Thanks guys!! I am going to give it a try. One thing I have learned with this truck is - Just Try It - if it doesnt work - Try It Again lol

I am using straight Traxxas rod ends with no bend and no clearance issues....
