Default Suspension Links Recomendations

Hey fellas I just bought my first wraith this saturday and already changed some stuff on it. I am trying to make the suspension nice and supple to crawl with.
I am trying to get it to sit lower and flex..onto suspension links and steering links.

I have seen links made from titanium and aluminum, what do you guys like and what brands??

Thanks Boys !!

You'll see most people running Vanquish links, but there are other ok ones out there. However, some brands like Hot Racing and Integy have been proven to not fit or hold up very well. You usually get what you pay for.

I really like blue monkey RC's Ti links. They're a tad cheaper than VP, and the geometry is better IMHO. VP is always a very good choice though.

8-32 allthread, stainless tubing & a couple packages of revo rod ends makes for endless possibilities.

VP for all of the suspension and steering links. For shocks, a nice pair of aluminum threaded shocks between 100-110mm

for the suspension links get either vp or axial links- the axial links you can get metel rod ends for if you wanted. but please take it from me and DONT NOT BUY HOT RACING OR TOP CAD i tried to save money and use those parts after buying them all twice i could of bought titanium vp links. i run axial links as they were gift from my wife. and they are good better than stock. but the hot racing and top cad are the same different name and they will not last 5 min. in the grass let alone being in one peice after install. but here that is my experience and may not be yours but im sure most people would tell you the same thing. hope this helps

also to get it to sit lower super easy- flip all the lower shock mounts and flip the rear upper shock mount- me my self i have done all that and all my top shock mounts are in the middle hole there are 3 holes to place top of shock i use middle. also move battery to front if not done so already and it will be night and day difference of the crawling ability. hope this helps and good luck post some pic.

VP TI links, they are worth every penny and work wonderful. It's a piece you won't have to worry about again.

For lowering the rideheight, I really like my G-made 93mm shocks. IT put the truck at a great stance with plenty of controllable flex and dampening. Good luck

So the consensus is Vanquish then...I will order the whole set so I get all of them at once.

Other than the links are there any other weak links I should look at replacing??

So I was just looking at Vanquish's site and there are three different 10pc link sets. What the heck is the difference??

I went with the axial bent upper links to match the stock lower links in the kit.

I got these for uppers cause I'm both cheap and poor. They had black when I ordered but the green wouldn't have stopped me. They've been fine for more than a year.
