Which ones would you get and why? are they the same quality?

Vanquish is always better! One word, Quality. Don't forget if you don't have Currie axles, you don't want those links. RC Accessories - Axial SCX10 Parts - Titanium Links - Vanquish Products

It's also a preference for people but you may want to go with a four link up front.

Do not buy any links with solid rod ends on them... Eventually they will fail and the link itself will be useless.

Do use/make any link with traxxas revo/jato(m4) rod ends, such as the VP and others use.

What meatwad said, plus 100% of the time tolerances are not that great.

Thanks for the help guys ill go with the ones Norton put a link for. Also what shocks are you guys using I have been told the gmade 103mm shock is a good choice to get, is that right?

rc4wd sells metal rod ends...
and for the scale look...
they replicate a heim joint fairly well.
I like that they have stop/adj. nuts on the threads.

Just be aware of the thread sizing wanted.
M3 is more common with most 6mm pre-threaded rod
and the Axial link rods.

Metal Rod Ends

chinese made...
so durability and consumable life...
could be a hit or miss

ps: take note that there are straight ends and angled ends.

shocks ?

I like the traxxas 100 mm big bores.
I have the plastic cheapo units.
But if alloy is your thing they're available for mo' $
I like how the internal bladders work. (nestled in the upper cap)
They work well if lighter rated coil springs are used.
My rig weighs around 9 - 10lbs.

A 100 mm shock is about the limit for the SCX-10 chassis
any longer and the upper shock mount would need be raised.

My BB and Losi white coil springs sit about 50% squat
for the chassis ride height.

Suspension droop potential is more valuable for a technical crawler
then total compression. 'least IMO

The G-Made Zero's or the Aerations are nice. The Piggybacks seem to big for a scale look. I would also buy 93mm instead of the 103 mm's. 103's are nice for a Wraith but a little tall for a SCX10.

The Chevy on the left has 93mm and the Yota has 103's. I went back to 93's on the Yota and was much more stable.
