Exclamation Manta

I'm building one of the manta chassis for my wk. I was wondering if anyone knew right off hand how long the upper and lower links should be to put it at 2.2 (12.5"). I have a local competition coming up and wanted to try something new.

On my Manta chassis i had a 13" wheel base.

> Lower Links
Front: 98mm
Rear: 110mm

> Upper Links
Front: 72mm
Rear: 87mm

Depending on how you mount the links on the axles and on the chassis could make wheelbase different. I had my shock\lower link mount flipped sideway for clearing the rocks. You'll have to play with the uppers and the lowers to get the right number, Sorry I Couldn't give the magic numbers for the 12.5" wheelbase. best advise: Just shave a 1/2" off each lower and play with the numbers on the uppers to get the input for your axles to have a good angle.
