That design will not work too well. The problem with it is that you have plenty of support one side and nothing on the other. For smooth axle articulation, you need support on both sides. If the tire with no support hits a rock, it's gonna be pushed in because nothing is preventing it.

|  Im not really sure,its just an idea i thought of.Ill try it,i just don't know how to get support on the other side.i have no idea where to put it.I also have to fix my steering servo.It will barely turn,i think i got some sand stuck in it. Here is another idea.It is just a four link.  |

The problem with the nylint axles is the steering box size and placement. It's right in the spot where we usually mount our suspension links. I've spent hours trying to find a way to 4-link the front sucessfully but failed. I ended up ditching the blue links and making my own out of steel, the legnth i wanted and just attached them where the blue ones were. It just seems like the best way to mount the front axle. As for the rear, go balls out cuz there's unlimited possibilities. I flipped the rear axle upside down and 4-linked it.
