I'm planning on 4linking mine also,but what from I have read losing some articulation can be a good thing on these lil guys.

yeah i just did mine, lost some but not much. I think thats the way it goes with a normal 4 link. works good. maybe a little better. | |

Too much articulation can hurt performance in various ways, get stuck in holes, more axle steer/swing, etc...  These mini's will perform much better if you limit the articulation from stock. I limited my stock shocks about 1/2". |

the stock 3 link had way too much articulation compared to 4 link which i have now. it had more side to side movement due to the design.

Randomly throwing four links on it isn't going to help. There is a lot of geometry and physics involved. Try experimenting with the 4-link geometry a bit. The number of links is less important than the geometry. start with this thread for some insight: Anti Squat and Suspension Tech Last edited by toybuilder; 12-01-2008 at 10:38 PM. | |

I think that my mrc has to much arctilation it will wedge the tire between the body and wont go back till you reverse it a little, although it is only on the side that the torque twist is 99 percent of the time. How do you guys limit the arctilation? I have it lowered with the new losi upgraded aluminum shocks. 40 weight oil in all but the one left rear that is 50weight oil, with the spring adjuster screwed down about twice as much as the rest of them.
