Samix Links

[McJeff]

Was wondering if anyone has tried these links and are they worth my time?

Vendor section on here pm nerby149.
Or
If you look up any of my builds the links are all 149 made. Nerby makes aluminum stainless steel titanium and carbon fiber!

Well you would if you weren't a sponsored team driver...


Dlux, Vanquish, and a multitude of others made them too. I didn't catch a price on those samix links but they look fine to me.


Edit:

The hole in the end of each link would be an issue for me as I have a tendency to bend Ti links so that word be a natural failure point in my usage but probably not most users.

Actually I bought my stuff from Adam before I was sponsored by him. So.

I like how they have their placement etched into the link.

We get it, your tapacrap signature ensures that we don't forget with every post.

Not terrible at all if they'd lose the hole in the links I'd like the price even better. But I'm sure some people like the holes so they don't have to hold the links with pliers to adjust the ends. Me, I figure they're headed to the rocks anyway so more scratches won't be noticed.

since I got you guys here. I was looking at other scx10 stuff Samix has and they have these 8 deg knuckles and carriers for higher clearance. Is it gimmicky or actually worth the extra amount of money?

Most of their stuff is fairly new (and a new company to boot) so you're not going to get much feedback yet. So far their stuff looks pretty nice. How about picking them up and letting us know how they wok out for you - someone has to be the first!

High steer knuckles, in general, are a great upgrade for both clearance and steering (along with front driveshafts to take advantage of the increased steering ability). Chinese made knuckles of questionable quality that cost more than Vanquish parts are not the way to go down that path.

Don't be the 1st to test a product...be the 1st to hear its shit! This hobby is waaaaay to expensive to "try it out"! Go with a known vendor or manufacturer that stands behind there product here in the USA

Meh, sometimes that's the way to go but not always. I'll test most anything that isn't obviously inferior. You'll never see me running anything but VP or dlux knuckles because they are the best quality with the best features that no other company has matched.

Besides you know the first to buy the new parts will be impressed and call them amazing so 50 other people run out and buy the crap anyway.

I agree! I also could have said it better. The products in this thread is garbage out the gate "imo"! It has that integy look to it & its from hong kong. I went that route early into rc's & still have it layin around cause ya cant give away this junk! oh yeah why would you drill a hole in a link period but at a point where the it has alot of stress...NO THANK YOU!

There are sooooooo many link options out there...WHY

No argument here just sayin

Woud much rather buy vanquish links.
Will cost around 20-25dollar more for a full sett, but it does include rod ends atleast
And it includes a 4link truss for your front axle too.
