| Titanium rear upper links.
Very simple to make. You'll need two Vanquish Products 150mm x 1/4" titanium links and Axial part number AX31186 4mm rod end parts tree. The parts tree comes with four nice angled rod ends that take Summit/Revo/T-E maxx hollow balls. I also use two Traxxas big bore limiters to take up the little extra threaded part showing on the link...for looks. Stock upper links are 6.75" or 171.5mm eye to eye. So for $37.xx I made these....

I did try to find some rod ends that would take the stock sized hollow balls because they are a tad larger diameter but these worked really well. I also got tired of waiting to see certain things offered for this RC so I started making things. I have to take more PICs and Ill do a small quick how to for the LST shocks and rear light bucket set up. Shocks are simple..the lights.....not so much.

Your picture link didn't work or you removed them from your host. |

| Re: Titanium rear upper links. The travel is longer on the LST XXL2 shocks. You have to run two bump stops on the fronts or you'll bottom out the front arms on the steering rack. Im sure you could tune the stockers to run fine but..... I am used to Losi stuff and the shock set up on the XXL2 shocks is real quick for me. My Yeti XL runs much smoother with the Losi shocks. I don't use super thick oils or super hard springs on any of my RCs. I do not like a bumpy bouncy rig. The RC raven springs up front pretty much eliminated the horrible roll up front. A med sway bar up front and a light one out back will be next. I do a lot of open grassy field running. A lot of small hills that I jump and large angled rocks I jump off also.
