Looking for a dead bolt links set
 

I've been looking for links for my deadbolt that are reasonably-priced. The dead bolt wheel base is 12". I've been looking on emain. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I don't end up with the wrong ones

I'm a fan of Tower Hobbies. Their website has a "parts Finder" section that helps me.

Axial TR link set #AX31142 is the most complete kit you'll find, includes upper links, lower links and steering links plus the option of 3-link or 4-link uppers.

I have a complete set of the SSD links.They are very nice pieces.

Re: Looking for a dead bolt links set
 

Are these just upper. Anyone have a pic of a 4 and 3 link uppers. Excuse my newness

Re: Looking for a dead bolt links set
 

I see what 3 vs 4 links upper are, what's better?

Re: Looking for a dead bolt links set
 

These pictures may help. Sometimes your set-up and clearance issues will dictate which one is used up front. I haven't compared the two extensively on the SCX10, but the 4-link seems to be a bit more rigid/sturdy than the 3-link.

I like the Axial TR set for the option of converting to either one if/when needed.

I like making mine from delrin .... if i was going to buy some SSD would be my first choice.

Re: Looking for a dead bolt links set
 

Where do you get the delrin and doesn't it bend a lot, especially rear lower when climbing?

Re: Looking for a dead bolt links set
 

I bought everything on Amazon Delrin , M3 x 20 socket set screws, and bent rod ends. Delrin is really hard to bend.... if can be done but i have never had a issue.

Re: Looking for a dead bolt links set
 

I'm assuming round rod? What thickness are you running?

Re: Looking for a dead bolt links set
 

92mm are lowers
84.5mm are uppers

McMaster Carr has what you might want.

...X2 on the R2j SS links

Shon is a good guy to deal with...
and I was able to communicate with him
using PM's and paying for them utilizing PayPal.
And so was an very easy purchase process.

I pony'd up for a SS Link set to fit my SCX-10 Honcho ( 12.3" WB )
But I'm waiting for their delivery at the moment.
But I'll likely post a picture of them here, whence I have them.

My purchase from R2j...
Included 3/16" uppers/ 1/4" lowers/ 3/16" steering links/Revo ball ends.
And my purchase cost was nearly half of what I paid
for a Cust. extended titanium link set for my 1/6 scale Wraith build.
Wished I could have purchased Cust. SS links for my 1/6 Wraith build.
I'd have been just as happy and would've likely saved a few dollars.

Titanium is great for rock/grind wear...
But SS does as well and at a lower purchase cost.
Plus SS is not as brittle as titanium is...
and so can be re-straightened if need be, with less chance of breaking.

^ Tho' titanium is a slightly lighter alloy...
IMO it is just a marginal difference/comparison in weight.
The titanium links may not allow for re-straightening
without the chance of snapping during that process.
SS on the other hand, is more pliable and less likely to break
when attempting to re-straighten.

And so, I would recommend utilizing either Titanium or SS for links,
as those will be more durable to rock rash then other alloy's.

Big plus...
^ either will slide on the rocks with less resistance/wear,
then other alloy's will ;-)

The delrin links are very nice, I got my stuff from McMaster Carr. I also recommend carbon fiber links from nerby149. Hit up the vendor's section.

Thanks, I was going to make my own, but so many projects and so little time so I pm'ed R2j to get a set

Re: Looking for a dead bolt links set
