Alright where to start. I got a buddy of mine who has a 1:1 YJ-8 ( Mixed Parts) Anyway. Here runs a 4 link in front and 2 link rear set up. How do you say. Well here is how. You have to solid mounts on the axle spaced out towards the ends on the axle. Then they run up and meet to make one up to a custom Crossmember. That as a Heavy duty ball joint mounted in the center. The ball joint allow it to travel 360* but as no side to side play at the joint. You do have to run a track bar with this set up. Anyway I was think of doing this on my Tuber. Here are some pic's to help.

Here is the Jeep thats runs the set up. I'm trying to find better picture of the set up. He as built many rigs with this set up.

looks like a 1-link. Try it and let us how it works.

It works really well. The best part was mine was durable. It climbed like a billy goat. No hop bounce nothing straight up.

Damn, I was going to say Cole did it. He beat me to it.

Yep that is a one link.........the wider the better.........and bend your link arms up lust after the axle forr better clearance.......good thought

Yep it's John's. I have seen this set up on his and Tom's Jeep's for some time now. It seems to be the only thing he can't break on it.

camoTJ · 06-12-2006, 07:29 PM

just make sure it is mounted good to the axle... I have seen the welds break/tubes tear on a 1:1 rig. I doubt an r/c sees the same forces though

A couple wheeling buddies run the one link set up on their 1:1. ShellJeep (Low Slung CJ) and JoshR (FJ-40). This linkage setup produces massize amounts of antisquat. This setup really sucks on my 1:18 Nylint. I much prefer the traditional 4-link configuration on my TXT.

That's a bad idea. It adds more stress to the rod ends and they like to snap alot. Been there, done that a 1,000 times. I event went and got monster rod ends and started to snap the 8-32 rod and 10-32 rod that was used

that would men you have bind somewhere......Ive built 1:1 one links but never a 1:10 wider is sstable narrow is bad.......LOL of course very little really translates to the 1:10 rigs

TwistedCreations · 06-17-2006, 07:42 AM
