Extended wheelbase kits

[RC_Feen]

I'm looking for extended wheelbase kits for my WK without getting various links or material to extend the wheelbase. Has anyone used/installed the STRC extended wheelbase kit? Here is the kit I'm talking about. I'm also checking out the RC4WD X-0376 kit. Any feedback on either kit would be great. Thanks!

im going to order the strc kit in the next few days, its half the price of the 4wd kit and only needs rod ends and drive shafts.

which one are you planning on?

bigblazerboy....Not too sure which kit I'm going to get. With the STRC kit do you have a part number or picture for the rodends needed for the kit? I already have the Traxxas x4951 half shafts. I like both kits and with the STRC it is half the price. With the RC4WD kit I like that everything is already include except for the steering linkage for the stock steering servo setup. Did you check out this thread. One of the members is installing the RC4WD X-0376 kit. Still need to get some beadlock wheels and some moab tires.

i have seen that kit, i would get it but i dont have a lot of money. i emailed them and al they said was any rod end that will screw on a 3mm end. i think stampede rod ends will work still havent found out and i am going to get the strc kit because if the bent lower links and it has a longer steering link, but im only going to use half of the kit to get a wb of around 11". if i get it i will send you some pics if you want.

i emailed them and they said they used the rod ends from their stock lower link kit. i think stampede ends will work and thats what im going to get unless someone knows any better ends or one that will fit. i might take the kit into the hobby town and see for my self which ones fit.

Taking the links into hobby town would be your best bet in getting the correct rodends. Don't buy some rodends and then get home to findout that they don't fit. Ned at HT will only give you an instore credit not a refund if you baught the wrong stuff. So make sure whatever you buy works before leaving the store. I have some old T-Maxx/Revo tie-rods that might work. Need to determine which kit to get first.

yeah, i dont want to wast my money on somthing that doesnt fit. i was thinking about trying to find some tie rods that were long enuff but then decided to go with the strc kit.
