Need help

[Bajacaat]

I'm running strc shock tower with strc castors and ssd knuckles rpm a arms and dlux tie rods and camber links... Trying to set up the links/camber has got me frustrated..anyone running this same set up??...think the camber links are way to long for this set up?

[SteveC6R]

I've not seen Erik's front links but they're Ti like the VP links. I simply measured/compared mine to the stock links and had no issues.

ill try and post a picture tomorrow ..did the same matched them up to the stockers. Something's off. Thanks in advance.

Lot's of guys running the STRC unit, maybe you just installed the links in the wrong adjustment hole on the tower...?

[Bajacaat]

I tried different hole set ups ...everything lines up except the cambers..way pigeon toed

May need to switch to turnbuckles too adjust that out.

[Bajacaat]

That's what I was thinking..tie rods are ok...cambers are about 1/4 inch to long. just enough that I can't cut these and have enough thread left. Guess I'll pick up some traxxas ones. No biggie just good for ppl to know before they spend there $$ on these.

[Sh0rtBus]

Traxxas part 3643 and then switch the balls to the Revo ones. Have the party number but not handy at the moment.

Thanks

Found out the ssd knuckles have approx 2 degree toe in compared to stock. So that explains my issue. Wish I knew that before ordering. Just an update.

[Sh0rtBus]

Yeah I made my turnbuckles the same length as the stock stuff and ended up having to shorten them once they were installed. So that would explain it. Maybe SSD needs to shorten the arms on them to correct it.

What are the tyres you've got on there? Trying to wrack my brains as to what they are because i've seen them before..!

They appear to be Pro-Line Super Swamper TSL's

This is good info on the SSDs. I have considered buying them, and have looked at them online a few times but don't recall reading the 2 degree added toe in? Purhaps I just over looked it. But if not, it sure as heck seems like info that should be added to the description of the product to avoid problems like what you guys ran into! I personally dislike products that purposely omit or mislead you into a purchase. Can't say this is the case here, as I said I may have missed that, but if it is....I'll send my $$ elseware

[Bajacaat]

I agree. It's cost me 25.00 on links I can't use and a little aggravation. That being said they do give a little more clearance and seem pretty beefy. They need to add the angle difference in the description is all. But hey nobody's perfect. Doubt there going to send me 25 bucks lol. It's all good!!

[Bajacaat]

The tires are proline tsl swampers. I'll report back how they hold up on 3s.

I'm pretty sure you can recoupe your funds through the for sale section on those links if they don't work for you. I always adjustability anyway, so a solid tie rod and drag link on an IFS rig to me was never an option. Sorry it didn't work out the way you hoped, but at least you'll have some adjustability. Can run some camber for tighter cornering.
