http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHGB7&P=ML I have already bought the latter and it's coming in the mail maybe tomorrow. By the way, with regards to the 4 lower links, do you have to screw the all-thread all the way on the aluminum tube until it stops? It looks like there's only a third left for the rod ends. Thanks.

| Here they are
got the links in  assembled the rod ends with traxxas ones.  here they are on my truck.    they turned out great. kinda a weird angle for the axles though. the drive line isn't straight as id like, but it does work great. haven't got a chance to hit the rocks yet since its so late, and its snowy and wet anyways |

you need to get some 4/40 rod and make your top link longer that would fix your pinion angle.

| trouble
so im havin some problems with my link setup. installed with the link/shock mounts in their normal position, the driveline is at a bad angle, that makes it so it dosent roll as smooth. prolly just a little more stress on the motor. then people said just rotate your link mounts to extend the lower links a little. i did that and it did straighten the driveline but now the drive line hits the rocks before my links. any suggestions on what i should do? heres some pics. thanks guys. i thought about moving the link to the lower hole but dont think that would help enough.  left is the shock mount in normal position, right is it on its side.     |
