Default suspension links question

Are all the after market suspension links shorter then stock? My Rubicon has 120mm front lowers and 130mm rear lowers and everything I find for scx10's are shorter.

I bought blue monkey titanium for the rear and they were the right size.

Rubicon is a different length from other kits. I believe the Honcho and Rubicon are the same length while the Dingo is a shorter kit. You have to check link sizes prior to purchase so you dont buy the wrong ones.

You should take into account which measurement you are using. Is it eye to eye, or is it the aluminum rod (if you already have the upgraded links,like what come with the kit). Also, all rod ends aren't the same, so you need to pick the right length for what you need.

Also,the honcho and Wrangler have the same wheelbase. The dingo is just under an inch shorter.

Or you can make your own really easy. get 1/4in brake line for a auto parts store threaded bar i believe its 8/32in or what ever fits in side the brake line from a hard wear store like lowes and traxxas rods ends and a dremel . i found a video on youtube. they were fun making them

i was measuring eye to eye on the rtr plastic links, i like the design of the integy links but the lenghts are different, i also like the vanquish titanium links but dont like the plastic traxxas rod ends.

The front links are the same for all 3 models if im not mistaken...The rears are longer on the rubicon and honcho due to the longer wheel base but still 2 different sizes for the uppers and lowers...I gave up and just made my own..i got conflicting sizes for the same links from many different sources.
