Default VP 1/4" wraith links discontinued?

Was on there site and says they're discontinued. I hope this is only temporary as i don't want the skinny 3/16" version.

Did it actually say discontinued somewhere? Bummer if so ... I want a set for my build too!

Last time I browsed VP's site they were not listed, but when I clicked on one of the 3/16" link kits it showed a video of the 1/4" links...

Click here for video reference

Yep they're listed under the discontinued heading on the main page. I messaged them a couple weeks ago about the 3 different link packages they had but they never got back to me. Maybe they'll see this thread and give some insight...

Yep, after I read your OP I searched the VP site under "discontinued" and sure enough they are listed there...

Last time I visited my LHS they had a couple sets in stock... guess I need to go grab me one before they are no longer available!

That's a bummer!

I make 1/4" stainless link sets for Wraith and SCX10......worth checking out! Made from 304 stainless rod and then threaded to 8-32 and come with Revo rod ends.

Any problems with the straight uppers hitting the drive shafts when flexing? I like the 1/4" ones

They've been using 7mm for some time now to make the 1/4" said they were having a hard time getting 1/4".

I really like the 7mms. BEEF.

Uppers are bent like the stock links.
