Default Anyone tried 3 link suspension?

I searched but couldn't find any info. I have an idea to make 3 link for front and rear of my TXT. I was going to machine one piece upper links w/ bearings at chassis and pillow balls, for T/E-maxx, on the axles. Any input?

Cool, I'm going to give it a try. I just wasn't sure if it would add more torque twist, I know suspension setup plays a huge roll in it too.

From what I have seen on 1beatjeep's 3 link, it did not help the torqe twist at all.

That's kinda what I was thinking. What about limiting straps? I just think front end would really unload in a lot of situations. That's why I'm asking before I put much effort into making new uppers.
