wronco/truggy link issues

[a69baldone]

i got this chassis off a member on here and starting the build with wraith axles..its a scx based chassis with the tube work added so i figured this is where i can get the help and advice..i wanted to use the wrath axles since i had them anyhow and figured it would work out as i had planned..
the axles had the links already added and the front mounted up great..i flipped the trans to get the outputs lined up better..now im having issues with the top links hitting the drive shaft..im thinking maybe go with a 3 link..i know this has been covered but advice and pics would be great..
its sitting at 13.5 in wb..i like it right there..the rear links are way short so im going to have to make some up..also..is there a mfg the has the bent rod ends..the ones on these links has a brass bushing that falls out..any how..here are some pics..the way she sits mocked up..

Did you tried with the transmission in the reverse position?

[a69baldone]

yes..its been turned around so the outputs on the transmission and the axles line up..im using a scx trans skid plate..im thinking i might have to go with a wraith since its wider maybe.

Here's benders so you have an idea If you turn the trans the other way it should clear.

The drive shafts seen like they are at a major angle with out the transmission swapped. i seen his thread and was liking his 3 link setup with the trans swapped..is there any disadvantage with the 3 link setup?

I find the effect of torque twist in the suspension is more exaggerated with a 3 link than a 4. I usually see it with my foff rigs more than a slower setup, but I am running a 3 link on my scx10 for the clearance issue

This is also how I have mine done and it has worked great.

I ran mine like this and keep snapping driveline.I did a 3link front and rear worked great.If you need pic pm ill send you some.

Thats what i was thinking that i would have driveline issues binding and snapping and premature wear...im undecided how to go about this..PM sent beatjeep

looks like i will have to go with a pan hard in front and rear if i run a 3 link..

Not finished yet but this is how I worked mine...I 'm putting the Axial shock mounts on to try to perfect the articulation. Works pretty good so far.

them are some bent links there if i do say so..if i didnt have the welded sliders on the chassis i would try that but the uppers would hit my sliders mounting them on outside of the frame rails..still a work in process..grr
