|  Link option help
Want to order some titanium links but they come with 2 options 50/50 or 60/40. I am assuming this means for 50/50 the links are the same length front and rear and for the 60/40 the rear links are 20% longer than the front! If i have it correct what are people running? They are to go on my bully with a viper 2 chassis? I was thinking the 60/40 to put more weight towards the front? peter |

60/40 will always be a better choice for weight distribution. Just make sure your ready to make some unseen changes if things get tight up front. On a sporty for instance, you might be in for drive shaft angle changes that will require shortening them. With moa, your rowdy plate or whatever you use for batt/electronics mount can get snug. Just a heads up  .

IMO, flex is much more predictable with 50/50. Weight biasing is easy to manipulate using other means.

50/50...especially with the Bully axles where link geometry can really be a pain. The shorter front links might cause even more problems than they're worth. Another question...you're ordering these links from where? Are they made to work with your chassis AND Bully axles? |

You want to wind up around 60/40. If you can get there starting with 50/50 links fine. I'd make some temporary links out of all-thread and test until I knew what worked best for me. Then put the money into Ti.
