Looking good!

Love my wheels!!

ill probally have a set of these on my next build!

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

Those will go great with your new scx axles;-)

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

what does "suitable" imply ?

my Honcho's 12.3" WB consists of...

2 frt/lower link rods @ 98mm (eye to eye 118mm)
2 Rr/lower link rods @ 106mm (eye to eye 126mm)

I use traxxas 10mm X 3mm ID
threaded link ends (shank end to eye center)

How does yours offer an equivalent 12" or 12.3" wheel base ?

Which link rod ends are being utilized ?
15mm or 10mm length ? Mfgr ?

when I do the math...
I'm not seeing 12" and 12.3" wheel bases ?

Maybe I'm missing something and you'll set me right !?

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

Link lengths of 92mm with eye-to-eye of 122mm, and 100mm with eye-to-eye of 130mm. Looks like 15mm rod ends on both sets and a 4mm (.157") discrepancy between the SSD links and yours.

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

Suitable means they fit with the correct wheelbase.
We use our own rod ends.
Your measurement don't sound right.
Our links are the same length as Axial links.
They have been tested on the truck.

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

Axial links in their 12.3" TR Link set are 98mm (#AX30518, front lower) and 106mm (#AX30616, rear lower), checking the Honcho optional parts link it shows the same two links. However, the Axial rod ends used on my Dingo are 16.4mm OAL with 12.4mm from the base to the center of the pivot ball. That would be 122.4mm eye-to-eye on the 98mm link and 130.4mm eye-to-eye on the 106mm if the Honcho were to use the same 16.4mm rod end.

If your numbers are correct you're using rod ends that are 15mm to the center of the pivot ball and not 16.4mm OAL like the Axial. Your OAL on the rod end is probably right around 20-22mm.

Looks like the discrepancy is in the length of the rod ends and not the link measurements. Also looks like we'll have to use SSD rod ends with the SSD links to keep the correct wheelbase.

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

That is correct.

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

Why is this even an argument. I doubt SSD would put something out that isn't correct.

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

A) It's not and argument, it's just trying to find and understand the 6mm discrepancy in length.
B) Anyone can make mistakes, whether it's in the product or just the published specs. So it's not a bad idea to ask a few question if something seems off.

Now it's clear SSD links require SSD or 20(ish)mm long rod ends when it's time to replace them if you want to keep your wheelbase the same. It's also clear you can't mix and match SSD and Axial 6mm diameter links and rod ends.

Sweet! i love my 1.9 beadlocks from you guys! keep up the good work!

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

We now offer the upper Ti links for the 305mm wheelbase SCX10:

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

I will have to order a set of these, I can see my Deadbolt ending up with a lot of SSD parts:mrgreen:

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

Nice work SSD

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

been waiting on the uppers for a while. my plastic uppers got a lot of slop!

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

Will you be doing upper links for the 12.3" wheelbase also?

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10

Why create and user non-industry standard rod ends? Traxxas Revo rod ends are the current defacto standard, quite strong and available everywhere for cheap. "thumbsup"

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

Industry standard? There are no industry standard rod ends. Everybody has different length rod ends and different ball widths....

Just because another company uses them doesn't mean we have to. Traxxas rod ends are M4 and the ball is not the right width.

SSD links are the right lengths eye to eye and that's what matters. Our rod ends dont break easily and spares are available.

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

SSD balls are proper width to fit snugly in the skidplate etc?

Re: New SSD Titanium Links for SCX10
 

That is correct "thumbsup"
