Default Linkage help!!!!!!

I just recently installed the pro line jeep body for the wraith. I would like to shorten the wheelbase to better the body. What brand and size links do I need to get and where can I get them?

Thanks

Get you some all-thread at your local hardware store, some revo or Jato rod ends and some break tubbing or aluminum sleeve. Make some. In the long run it's cheaper. There's no way anyone can tell you how long to make them or what size to buy without the rigid front of them.

If you haven't made any before...there's a thread in this forum explaining how. Try searching "links"

Good luck

take your links off your axles..
leave rodends on the skid and axle mounts..
prop your wraith chassis up by skid..
set your axles the distance you want..
measure the distance between the skid rodends and link mount rodends..

that should get you in the ballpark.

axial makes all size links..

if you dont find one thats the right size you can make your own
from allthread and revo rodends.
