Currie 3 link?
 
Is anyone running cms and 3 link w/ pan hard on their rig with curries? i know that the currie link kit can be used for 3 link setup but i haven't seen pictures of the detail of it. I was also wondering if you can only use the vanquish cms with doing the 3 link with the currie stuff. I was wanting to use the blue monkey dual servo plate up front. If anyone has pics of their setup with curries and 3 link please post up.

Is that the panhard mount for the currie setup specifically? what cms kit are you running?

Currie 3 link?
 
You have to run the panhard mount designed for the Currie axles (the mount that goes on the axle) I'm running a 3 link setup with my Curries. I did have the VP bumper mount CMS, but I recently swapped it out with the regular VP CMS - the one that bolts to the side of the frame rail. Unfortunately, you have to buy that CMS with the SCX10 link kit.
I think any CMS will work with the Curries, as long as you have enough room for suspension travel. The only proprietary items for the Curries, are the parts that actually mount to the axles itself - panhard mount, 3 link mount, and lower link / shock mounts.

Yeah i have the vp scx10 cms already just could get my steering geometry right. DO you like the 3 link on with the curries more or does the four link work better to you. On my set up with three link before i had way more flex to one side than the other. The panhard would hit the axle before it would reach full compression and really limit the up travel to the right side.

Yeah a panhard that's bent down and out in front of the upper link mount will solve/alleviate most of your problems.
