| Two linked not quite working
Ugh, I did the two link but didn't like it at all (not enough flex, always flipped over before getting like 2 inches of flex) so I reverted the rear back to stock and for the front I two linked it with ball ends at both sides. Only problem is I can't find a way to stop the axle wrap. Any idears?

try this..... drill all the way through the shock mounts (i assume your doing this like the other guy did) then run your link all the way through it, with 2 nuts (tightened against each other) on each side of the shock mount. might also want to consider filling the threads on the section inside of the shock mount with JB Weld and sand it smooth so its not eating into the plastic..... that would allow the links to pivot inside the shock mounts instead of being solid mounted.....if it doesn't work, it should be 100% reversible.

My set up is with two ball ends on each link so even the axle end moves... I tried having it just screwed into the shock mount but couldnt stand the way it articulated. I'm only 13 and all I've got to work with is the basic screwdrivers/pliers and a dremel, So I don't have a lot to work with. Also I can't really go out to get more ball ends and rod for the upper links. I've been trying different things to do but nothing's worked yet |

well, theres no way you can control axle wrap with a rod end on each end of the link, the axle will just flop, either try it the way i said, or come up with more ball ends and rod for triangulated upper links.

you could do a 3 link like i did. i made two long links out of alum and put long screws in the mounting holes so the arms would have room to twist which makes for more articulation. you can also lengthen your wheelbase at the same time. for the third link i drilled a hole in the chassis and put a long bolt with a bend in it to tilt the axle a little and put it through the original mount on the axle and the hole that i had drilled. i just use the coils with no shock, it looks different when it is flexing but it flexes pretty good.

Just a thought...What if I screw it in from the top? lol because that it's not as likely to do what it's doin' now...I think

njt34..that seems to have almost to much articulation...it looks cool but does it perform as weel as a stock one off camber situations

it performs a lot better, my dad has an almost stock nylint and his flips over all of the time

I screwed the link into the top of the axle shock mount with the shocks mounted to the link. It has a bit of side to side movement but works great in my oppinion
