| Custom made links?
Ive searched n all i can find on 'custom made links' is how to make your own from all thread n brake line tubing. Does anybody know if anybody makes custom made links for 1/10 scale, like billet ones in the 1:1 world? Ive found a few designs i kinda like, but had no luck on any on the market. Any n all help pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance yall! Sent from my SM-J327VPP using Tapatalk |

You can get some for the axial rr10 trailing arms. Might be long for most scalers though. In tho bomber forums people have used shorter arms so you can look there for which vehicle they are out of and it might help your search. Using different rod ends may allow further length tuning. I have my doubts they will slide over rocks as well as stainless or titanium round links. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

Yeah, unfortunately that style link is mostly for show - and the companies that make scale versions are companies like Integy, GPM, Hot Racing, etc. You can easily find Twin Hammers, Wraith or Bomber/Yeti length ones... (that's in order, from shortest to longest for rear lower trailing arms/links) If you find them in stainless steel or 7075 aluminum rather than 6061 aluminum, they slide much better - and you can sometimes find them made of Delrin, they slide great but are usually quite plain to look at - no holes in them. Typically SCX10-length links are of the plain rod/tube style. EDIT: Stock Bomber/Yeti is 142mm eye to eye Stock Wraith is 126mm eye to eye Stock Twin Hammers is 116mm eye to eye You can make small adjustments if the rod-ends are replaceable, by using Jato or Revo or RPM rod-ends, which are slightly different lengths...

The bottom set is for a Twin Hammer, by Hot Racing... they're on fleaBay. The upper set were I think Wraith length, by Integy. Those are just 2 quick examples I found browsing on eBay. |

Well, ive done some searchin n ive found a few links i like, but not the right length. But with the help of frank, i got a email from a place that may be able to help me out. Much appreciated frank! Im waitin on a email back. They said they could do it, but they charge $60 hr. So im waitin for a email back on a rough estimate for a set of front n rear lower links.
