doing it the sharpie way causes the axle to move side to sideand can make it very unstable

o ok...do u have any suggestions on what else to do..the reason i want to strech the single link is so that when it articulates, the axel doesent catch on the link....i also am looking for increased wheelbase so worst case sunerio i will just dril the new hole for the link..

the way i did mine was to use some alum.. tubing (got at Lowes) i just cut the blue links in half . cut my tubing and use 5 min. apoxy to glue them back together works great for me . here is a link you can see how i did it . http://groups.msn.com/BaddsTraxxasRE...to&PhotoID=307 the new wheelbase is right at 10 "
