| Trailing arms
I'm getting ready to order my yeti kit and along with a bunch of upgrades. Was wondering the best trailing arms to get. Thanks.

Our trailing arms are packed with HD rod ends only now.

I was leaning toward ssd but also the vanquish arms not sure how well the ends hold up on the vanquish. Are the ssd 3mm or 4mm rod ends?

3mm. That is why I went with JEC/Supershafty. Not necessarily because they would break but because I have a ton of traxxas ends and I can get the traxxas ends anywhere if I need them. The SSD not so much.

That's the problem I'm having. I'm trying to have all my rigs use the same rod ends.

I have the JEC Stainless on my Bomber. They're indestructible. They're also very, very heavy. When I built my Yeti, the Aluminum JECs weren't available, so I ended up going with a set of MFR trailing arms. They're ridiculously light, and to be honest, I'm a bit nervous that they're going to snap in half, but so far, they've taken everything I've dished out.

JEC has some industrial nylon (Delrin) versions now available: https://jecracing.com/collections/j-...er-ta-s-delrin I have the complete Bomber stainless link and trailing arm setup from him, very heavy - but it does tend to keep my rig planted! My second Bomber will use the set of stainless links from an eBay seller called "american_machine_works_ohio" that I bought last year, but it looks like they may have stopped producing them. Very nice as well, but I haven't got around to getting the trailing arms yet - will either get SuperShafty aluminum BombProof arms (currently sold out) or the JEC Delrin this time. https://supershafty.com/collections/...-trailing-arms The SuperShafty arms are slightly re-profiled from the original JEC design. I think they look a little nicer now... but slippery Delrin may win the day! |
