You make them. Just y 1/4" delrin rid, cut it to length and tap the ends for 3mm. I'm sure you could just ask Jeremy for 2 extra when you order your SA.

I had some from my 4" SA, it's just like the ones that come with the 3.5".

You can make your own...it's the easiest thing in the world...and cheap!

Buy this:

DELRIN TUBE #1830T119 (5FT.)

and this:

3MM TAP #8305A32

You can use a small tubing cutter (any hardware store will have this)

Cut your length, put the tap in a drill...tap both ends...done!

I ended up mounting the shocks to the inside of the double shear tabs f/r. I am using the Dlux upper shock mounts, and the shocks felt like they would bind up unless mounted almost vertically. With the shocks inside the tabs, everything is smooth and bind free throughout travel.

The brace is moved back between the shocks because it hits my electronics when mounted in the stock position. I will spin the rx around 180* when I rewire the truck before PCC. fwiw, the chassis feels just as solid with the brace where it is now.

i think that makes sence...

Gotcha! Thanks!

So I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the SA3.5. Will my Delrin lower links from Crawler Innovations still fit on this chassis or do I have to purchase new titanium links also?

Big bores don't leak only if you screw them on finger tight. (Thanks Joel) Looking good Jake. Wish I could have saw it in action a little, it looked good going through gate one and nearly taking out my ankles.
Any pics of a bottom shot to see the secret link bends...
