Default Want to run 4 link up front?

I found this, too bad its blue. But it'll do the job. They also make machine knuckles and some other parts.

It says rear. From the looks of it the 2nd hole will be going forward not into the center of the truck where you need it when mounted on the front. At least the axle mounting portion would be done for you.

You can get another rear and put it on the front. The whole tree that it comes on is like $8? (I will look for the part number and post later)

I have one and tested, it fits by putting it on the backside of the axle and running the screws into it. Only problem, upper mound on the motor side comes in contact with the motor... it IS possible to do very cheaply if you tilt the motor and spur up some.

I don't know about poor fitment, I have a number of Hot Racing items on my Axial and i'm happy with them. Similar to Integy, where certain parts are poor quality ripoffs and certain items are really nice for the price. That said I haven't and likely wont purchase this 4link piece, just linking it for those who might be interested in using an aftermarket chassis.

I have seen that the Kyosho rear 4 link piece will work as well for 4 link in front.

I don't remember it having rod ends but it does have the front/rear mount and the pieces for the center trans/spur gear mount.
