Default samix scx10 2 link kit

Does anyone else have these installed?

I am having an issue with the lower front link and upper front link hitting each other and preventing/ limiting full flex. Samix's website has no info and some images they have doesn't even have the front upper link installed...

full extension


max compression. About half the compression as passenger side

Maybe try turning them around so the bend is closer to the skid, then turn the rod so instead of an up/down bend they do an out/in bend?

If you look at Samixes page it look like they are mounted the right way, with the short side of the bend towards the axle.

if im seeing things correctly it looks as though you are running a high clearance skid?

i ran a vader high clearance skid on mine with the incision link set, which are not bent, and my upper and lower links were fighting for space as well. so the fact that you are running the samix bent links will only add to the interference issue.

if you cant run it like that you will have to swap out the links to get a little more clearance or go back to a stock skid.

hope that helps!

They look to be thick. Thick links do often hit each other at some point in the suspension travel.

yeah i ended up switch back to the stock skid and running the axial rod ends. It solved the issue for me.

I just played with the bends, rotating them till they fit. I have a flat skid also
