|  3 link front 4 link rear?
Hello everyone, I've had my mrc for 7 months now, I've done lot's the mods as far as axles, lockers, vanquish wheels, flatirons, shocks, links etc. The list goes on! I would like to do the the 4 link! I don't like the way the crawler flexes and the track angle changes. (Defintly in the rear) It makes harded to drive. My question is should I do 4 link front and rear, 4 link in the rear, or just keep the stock 3 link and get better at driving it? Any info will help, Brett P.S Any websites that support this would be great!!  |

At the least I would say 4-link the rear. I have only 4-linked the rear on my MRC and it has made a good improvement. I used an old MRS4 battery mount plate I had to make mine. There are a few Vendors on this site that sell 4 link plates for both the front and rear. |

Yeah I also 4-linked mine in the rear and left it 3-linked in the front. I will probably 4-link the front sooner or later.

I used 55mm Axial cross braces and rod ends to make my rear 4-link. Simply drill two holes in the extra servo mount on the rear axel and mount to the underside of the servo mount.  You will need to outboard the rear shocks to clear the four link. At the axel mount them outside the original mounting position with a longer screw. Look at pics.
