|  top links for 4 link setup
guys can u give me a link where to get the top links. i prefer aluminum regardless of color. so far all i can see are the lower links which is too long for the top links. i believe rcbros got some but i could only find the derlin lower links on their website. i think ill send william an email and ask him. building my own is out of it coz i dont have the right tools.  sorry.thanks! more power to all u guys!! |

Make them out of some all-thread and aluminum tubing....why pay some crazy amount of money for a part you can make yourself?

I dont think that anyone sells the top links, you gotta make your own as far as I know.  |

Ugly, We sell the material to make your own and its rather easy. To cut the delrin all you need is some sharp garden shears or a small hack saw or dremel tool.. A 1.5mm allen and our set screws screw into the delrin, add your favorite rod ends and your ready to roll. |

You'll also need to BUY mounting plates. But if you are cool like me, or on a shoe string budget like me, then you know that out of neccesity comes brilliance. I bent my own four links, then mounted em up. cost me bout 8 bucks, and didnt need to buy any fancy plates, or delrin rods. Not that my way is better, I'm sure the delrin is great, and prolly better than mine, but I can't afford that shit. |

You can use all-thread that fits inside tubing, tap the tubing, or if you use the set screws and derlin from rcbros you let the set screws tap their own threads... | ||

LOWES is your friend, my top links are from a set of "aluminium extensions" you get in the bolt section, they com in 1" lengths and .5" lengths, i believe the length worked out to be 2.5" if im not mistaken. looks good and fit into the axail ends after i drilled them out a hair. and if you ever want to extend your rear like i did you just go buy some more extentsions and screw them in. |
