Max clearence WK axles

[coolkidjf7]

Waiting for $ to build up my crawler has left me with a ton of time to sit in my shop and think. The WK axles are notorious for having crappy link mounts, I didn't feel like spending the coin to buy aftermarket mounts and too lazy to go get some U-channel. I had my dremel and some extra screws and came up with this;












On a side note i was bored and painted my motor can, check it OH BTW that is handpainted NO stencils am I good or what?







Thanks for reading

no front on pics? looks like a good idea, i have thought about tlt link mounts since i have a set of em, but didnt want to drill into the case, also the new hpi link mounts look promessing

[coolkidjf7]

yea you could get those mounts but you still get the extra plastic under the chassis, these have none I'll get those pic.s asap for ya

[coolkidjf7]

Here ya go

that looks cool, still would probably use tlt lnk mounts first before cutting the stock ones.

please make your pictures smaller... we dont all have 24" monitors.....

[coolkidjf7]

Ok done

the only thing I could think is that the link mounts could rotate and flex with only one bolt. I saw someone take a tlt link mount and bolt tat to the axle housing. that looked really stout.

have you tested it yet?

[dacaur]

looks like he has some kind of shim there,.... as long as its shimmed solid I dont see it rotating unless the plastic is flexible enough to let it twist...

[coolkidjf7]

Yep alum shim that is gonna get CA'ed to the axle when I get some more CA. The plastic won't let it turn

I havent tested it yet, dont have the money to finish the build as of now.
