CMS Panhard kit VP or Level3

[RNUOVR]

I am looking to pickup a CMS & Panhard bar kit and I am looking at the Vanquish & the Level3 kits.
I was wondering from people who have installed and used them which one they prefer and if you had any issues at all with either kit?
I have a bunch of vanquish stuff already and it's top notch, but with the $20 price difference on the 2 kits I am trying to decide if the vanquish kit is worth the extra case.

The level 3 doesn't offer a panhard, basically that makes the kit useless. A panhard is a must.

level3 has this kit & was what I was looking at

Axial Wraith Chassis Mounted Servo Kit With Panhard! RC Crawlers!

but I think that the vanquish kit will be more solid with their axle mounting design for the bracket.

Interesting. Had not seen that. I don't see anything immediately wrong with it. Id have to see one in person.

I've got the level 3 and I think it really suffers from not having rod ends. It has no give in the alignment. I like it but I think it would be better if it had rod ends.

X2, I don't trust anything from a company that makes this.

Axial XR-10 Competition RC Rock Crawler Axle Sled Guard! Axial XR10

Installed the level 3 kit for about 5 minutes and took it off because I couldn't get it to work right. It messes up the link geometry.

Somethin I threw together for mine. Another option at least.

Ive just received the Vp CMS and Panhard kit on the mail.
I was really looking forward to it.
But it was only during the assembly that i realised that my servo Hitec 7980th doesn't fit on the CMS.
What servos are u guys running on your rigs that fit the Vp kit and still provides good performance?

Thanks for your Atention

I run a savox 2270 servo with my VP CMS and Panhard kit...works great!

I have a level 3 kit.. It's absolute JUNK!!!

Weak weak weak aluminum, no hollow balls at connection points. No instructions at all. ( just a pile of parts) it took away all articulation. I never even took my wraith off the bench with it.. I just got mad and ripped it right back off.. It's in the " sell to a sucker" bin now. Lol

Save your nerves and buy a VP kit.
I got the Level3 CMS kit, the steering link kit and the lowering kit.. All junk.. The lowering kit might be ok and because of its low movement type of installation It'll likely work ok.. But it's cheap and you can feel it.

You get what you pay for !!!

I learned my lesson.

Don't think because you go VP its gonna bolt on and be awesome. Bought the only garauntee is it look cool. Then the tuning starts

[allanon1965]

Mine was bolt on and go, no tuning was needed...unless you mean adjusting for toe which was a 30 second adjustment...look at it on my upgrade thread, you can see the links are even and it works like a dream..
