Default off center stock truss

I seem to remember a recent discussion about the off center 4 link setup on the stock AR60 truss... but could only find this older, not very help full thread:
Wraith off center in front

I'm currently setting up 2 rigs with AR60 axles and neither of them uses a Wraith chassis. One is a Rock Rider and the other is basically a SCX10 chassis.

I ran across this issue a few months ago when I first set up my Rock Rider with AR60 axles... I kept thinking my axles looked a little skewed and finally got out the ruler and my wb was off but I thought I must have cut my links uneven. At the time, it didn't matter much to me cause I knew I was going to tear it all down.

A few days ago I started building the Rock Rider again and made sure all the links matched and still had the skewed axles...

Currently, with the Rock Rider I just offset the upper links by moving the passenger side in one space on the chassis. This got them much closer to true but it's not a good fix.

Has anyone found a good work around for this problem?

Does the Wraith chassis and/or Links compensate for this or is every Wraith skewed?

Does the VP/Dinky truss fix this problem? (ultimately, I plane to upgrade to these parts... I just don't have the cash on hand to buy 4 new truss')

This isn't a big deal on the Rock Rider as I'm building it strictly as a post comp basher... but, I need to get this straightened out before I finish Hera (SCX10 chassis). She needs proper geometry!

I just put the VP truss on mine and after measuring, the VP one should move it to center

I made my own links and made sure they were exact in length and mine is still off center front and rear.
