narrowed wheel base

[gigercreeper]

i bought the axial stubbys and hexes. i dont want to dail out any of my steering. has ny one relocated the shock mounting location on the diff housing

I've played around with this quite a bit. Its still not exactly what I want yet but it can be done with a little fab work.
You should also shorten your front upper links to set your kingpins parallel with the ground. I also recommend playing around with the upper shock mounting location Once I get mine a little closer to being finished I will post pics.

i have tried mine setup like a clod with the top links on the servo an bottem links where the top link were on the ax. i didnt like it for it really cut down on the atick. really bad. i have a set of ax. with the ax10 stubs in them what u need to no

[gigercreeper]

well the rear is locked and i noticed it was a tight fit with those axial stubs so i have those in the rear only. the front i have just the hexs with a spaced before the nut. i like this particular mod alot it almost never gets hung up on the rear diff now. to shorten the links on top i can assume that u have the aluminum ones. i was thinking of diffent mounting holes. but it would be easyier to just have adjustables. is there another turnbuckle that will work i dont realy like the looks of the fatt aluminum.

the other thing u can do is to cut the stock in the midd. an sleve it with brake line an jb weld it back togather or get some 440 ends an rod at the lhs an build them the lengh u want then sleve then with brake line

Randy was it you or someone else that said when they switched over to the Axial wheel axles they ground a little off the end of the dogbone to make it fit better, and that was enough?

I ordered 2 sets of these:
They look beefier then stock and should be under warrantied.

i ground the dog bones down a little and it seems to turn alot easier. i still need to get all the breaings.

dez did mine so look in his tread an see what he did . i had tothing to do with that i just got this fabuless truck from him

[gigercreeper]

i was able to male the knuckles parralle to the ground with out modifing anything. all i used not off the truck was two long screws. ill put up a pic as soon as i get my camera batteries

[Jones323]

is there a thread where someone cut the links to shortin the wheelbase?

[randy1]

u just want to shorten the top links . i think it was easyer to look at the servo u want it flat. like you cpuld set a ball on it an it wouldnt roll off. the first one i did i cut the stock link in the middle an cut out a little an sleved it with a alum tubing. i used jb weld to put it back togather . i put it all down the link an slide thein the tubing . hope this helps.if u need more help ill do a tread on it i have one that i could do a feep for a spare

[gigercreeper]

i was haven problems with shortness here a pic of the link arrangement. this is how i leved the links with out makin it shorter
the front links are on the same plane

[randy1]

how dose it work with the links mounted in the same place ? looks like they need moved up

[gigercreeper]

the top link is in the hole behind the lower link not in the spot
