| 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

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. SCX10 Upper 3-Link SCX10 Upper 4-Link |

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.

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 Last edited by TacoCrawler; 04-03-2016 at 04:04 PM. | |

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. |
