| Raise rear links
Hey guys. I know I've seen a couple people use the vp wraith steering arms to raise the rear upper links on the scx10. I've did a search and found nothing but I know I've seen it lol. If u can post pics or a link to them thank you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk |

Check out JCAD's rear upper link risers. Much less ghetto.

I'm not crazy about the rough 3D printed finish but most of all why is not a solid piece instead of having the honeycomb structure | |

So please only pics or links of using wraith steer arms as the risers. As pmadrid13 we know of different options just want to see the Wraith parts being used as we both have these parts lying around. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk |

| Re: Raise rear links Why do you need pics? Seems like both you have your mind made up. It just a matter of drilling extra hole in the chassis and remount your link. You dont need pics to do this simple mod.

I might still get a set of risers from JCAD, after all, it is a hell of a deal, but I like to see options, key word "see". | |

I just google imaged searched "wraith steering arm scx link raise" and found some red wraith arms on an SCX chassis. Points back to an RCC build thread. Keep searching!

| Re: Raise rear links I guess I am biased, as I spend a lot of time searching RCC and google images for what I need.

Its all about how you do your search, and if you seen it already once, you have a easier time finding it. Believe me I take pride in looking on my own but I had never seen it before and kept coming up with nothing in my search. I did find several other options, like the metal plate that looks like a boomerang | |

Guess it took another set of eyes, as I found it in less than 20 seconds. I had never never seen the wraith arms used. JC Auto Designs has refined the printed risers using nylon and there are no strength issues any more. And are only $8 right now. Nylon can be sanded as well. Upper Link Risers - JC Auto Design |

I did place an order for JCAD risers this morning, and I'm also looking at the ones from onetencrawlers but I think they are out of Australia (com.au). There are several SCX10 in our group and for the right price we are always looking to try something new. | |

I haven't seen the onetencrawler's risers. Pretty cool. They are in Australia. "Highlucks" on RCC started onetencrawlers and comes to the US Crawling nationals each year. Great guy. JC Auto designs used to make steel risers you could bolt or weld on but not sure if those are made any more. These were bolted for mock up then welded on this rig. Szczerba's 1.9 Ultra4 ... |
