Or make your own out of rod ends, all thread, and brake line. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

Find some threaded rod links that'll make it the needed 12.8". I use stainless rod from Lowes and RPM's Traxxas size rod ends. Measure what you need and take away the distance from the eye to where the rod will end and cut it. Chuck the rod in a cordless drill and cut some m4 or m5 threads...or SAE equivalent...then screw the ends on. m5 threads will be tight enough to bulge them unless you tap the ends the same. Here's an example of a set on the back of my Budget Bomber.  I did the same body on a scx10 frame and used ar60 axles. I set the body up to use Wraith length links up front and made extended links for the rear. Much like a full size. Best profile pic I have.  Last edited by Brake Weight; 10-12-2016 at 01:42 PM. |

Do you have the measurements for them?

Not anymore. They were used on multiple other things. Just mount the body with the front wheels centered and then worry about the rear. It was a lot easier than having even links both F/R. |

isnt it better to have both front and rear links the same or close to it?
