Vanquish front 4 link mount stock axles

[monturacer3]

Hey everyone I need some help here. I have the front of my scx10 4-linked and I'm using revo rod ends and the axial 4 link truss. The revo rod ends are rubbing on the servo plate causing binding in the suspension. I was looking around and found that VP makes a 4 link mount for the front axle with the third hole for the servo mount. It also makes the mounting point on the axles for the upper links lower, therefore eliminating the binding. It comes in their titanium 4 link kit and not as a separate part. All I need is the link mount. I tried emailing them about it and never got a reply. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can get one? The black aluminum part in the bottom right of the attached picture is what I need.

I also sent an e-mail asking if I could buy just the
4 link connector. No response . Wish they would
sell separate . This is a slick little part that allows
one to 4 link front and still put servo in original
location. Could also be used in rear .

I've sent multiple emails asking the same thing over and over. I'm gonna try sending another today.

A low cost solution is to use some washers to slightly raise the stock servo plate so the rod ends don't bind. As long as you don't get too carried away you can also trim/sand down the rod ends so they don't bind.

STRC, Blue Monkey and several others sell a 4 link/servo plate that the top links mount to which will eliminate the binding. Since the links mount to the plate, you will need shorter top links to make it work.

I used 4 (2 on each side) thin plastic spacers that came with the kit to raise the servo mount enough to stop binding. I don't have the nice vanquish links (they are on my wraith) I used threaded rod, some SS tubing and ends.
