Default Stretching a Deadbolt

So I've been drooling over some of the Toyota bodies I've seen. I want to know if someone has stretched the Deadbolt wheelbase to the 313mm for say a Proline Hilux, and what are the link measurements?

the AX90028 SCX10™ 2012 Jeep® Wrangler is already 313mm, so the answer is it is indeed easily done with the AX90028 link set...dont know if anyone as done it, but its easily done.

If you want to make your own links.

the front uppers are 85mm , front lowers are 98mm

rear uppers are 95mm and rears lowers are 106mm.

These measures are for just the link bars themselves without ball ends. this will give you a 12.3 wheelbase.

Now why would you want to go and ruin a perfectly good DeadBolt by making it a LWB?

I don't want to stretch the body, just the links to accommodate a 315mm body

You can just use longer rod ends as well. You don't need to stretch much .3 is nothing.
