Wraith replacement links

[BrianP]

Just put my order in for Wraith RTR. I know I will need new links in the future.
Is there a replacement kit out there that replaces all links to aluminum? I see Vanquish has links but they are sold as pairs. What would you guys recommend?

Make your own links for a fraction of the cost of aftermarket,and use that saved money on other hop up's like chubs,knuckles, tranny gears,etc.

What does everyone use for material and rod ends?
What about the bent links. Cant get the same set up by hand, Could I?

Yes you can make them bends and all.
How To: Make your own links

You can make every link on a rig for about $15.

the axial aluminum link upgrade kit is a little over 50 bux and there pretty nice. not as strong as the VP but i doubt i will have issues with them.

The axial links still use a 3mm setscrew and rod ends, wheras the VP and R2J links use larger, more durable, Revo joints.

I think you can get a full set of stainless links for about $60 from R2j, and you can get custom bent ones for a little more. I running his uppers and a couple bent lowers on my Wraith.

The axials are about $30 per PAIR of uppers and Per Pair for the lowers...that means $120 no?

You're correct. The stainless ones from R2J are a better deal all around.

I like the Delrin ones from Blue Monkey RC.

R2j also makes 4mm delrin links also and I'm running his stainless ones all way around on my wraith stainless uppers and delrin lowers on my ax10 and I got say his links are awesome and his delrin links look very good.

The Revo 4mm ends are strong. Broke my Ti tie rod right where the threads start, but the rod end wasn't even fazed!

Sorry man, I'm not laughing at your misfortune but I think it's funny to see a Ti link broken. There talked up like there indestructable and the price they charge for them is crazy. I've never had a homemade link break and it wasnt for lack of trying. Your rig looks real clean like it hasn't been bashed, so I think the part just failed. Sorry for your misfortune, I'm sure the seller will take care of you.
