|  Revo A Arms to Extend
I have extended my WK using Revo A arms. They did need a little modification but they are working great and have giving me the articulation that I need.

I'm guess its the top link also... I pretty much did the same thing, but made it out of some flat stock alum.  |

I was wondering if they would work. I have a Revo and was looking at it's suspension the other day and wondering if they'd fit. I thought of using the A-arm as the upper link and then try to get some of the pushrods or turnbuckles from the Revo as the lowers. Let's see some pics  |

I'm using either the stock WK uppers (modified slightly) or MGT lower a-arms for my WK upper links.

Ya, I used the A arm for the upper link. I tried to make a 4 link but did not have enuff trianglelation so I went to a 3 link. I used threaded rod and steel brake line for the lower link. I found the brake line was the only thing that would hold up to the bashing. Pictures are forth comming. |

do you have any pics compared to the stock normal revo arm? it looks like you shaved the front down a bit. and they are the front uppers? and how long did you make the bottem links?

That has to be one of the rear lowers from a Revo. None of the other arms are concentric. The only thing I can see that would have to be trimmed is the spot on the end of the arm where you connect the suspension push rods...but it's only plastic right  |

ya its only plastic, I found that I had to shave the sides and then cut it down to the length that I wanted. The lower links are about 5 1/2 inches long.
