use a spacer on the single end of the 3 link and a L O N G screw. Lowes and home depot sell nylon spacers of all sizes or you can make one.

Show us some pics and EVERYONE will try to help.

i tried to put a spacer in there but it didnt work...i dont think it worked out cuz i didnt have a nice one it was just a nut that was bigger than the screw... and also is there some kind of mount for the links to mount to the axel as well..? im at my gfs ill post pics when i get home..

you can use the tamiya upper/lower suspension stay's to mount your top links if you can find them if not you can get som alumn channel at lowe's it bout 6 bucks for a 5ft stick then make what you wont thats what i did if you mess up you got lots left to get it right. plus you can also make some cool stuff with whats left i'll show pics when i get done with what im building

rotate the stock link mounts around on the axle and make a shim or spacer to take up the slack.



Four wheel peel--------he is using the stock 3link for the upper.

sorry got threw off by him saying this

what have you used for a link mount to put longer links on the top V link instead

[stutterone]

I used a 50mm x 3mm screw(I'm using revo pushrod as bottom links) and 2 lock nuts, The lock nuts let me get the angle I want . I havent fiqured out how to post pics yet or I would show you, I could email you one.

THe suspension stays that everyone is referring to are on this link. They bolt right up to the center screw and big ball joint on the WK axle. All you need is a small nylon spacer from the hardware store to place in between so you don't collapse the stay when you fasten the upper links on. I believe it is 1/4".

Have fun.

I used the larger stays because I used all the triangular ones elsewhere. Either work.

What are you using for your lower link mounts? that looks awesome! I am using the factory stuff until something else comes out butyours looks pretty cool!

I made them out of some sheet metal. I think they work great. It helps with the ground clearence as well. You can see some better pictures of them on my other rig.
