Default 4 link.

Im thinking of doing a four link set up and would like to see pics of your set up? What ends did you use? How did you attach it to the axle?

Here are some pics of mine, I used stock length lower suspension bars at first, then made my own. The rear mount is in the same place as the front and I used ball ends to mount everything, losi ones.






Also here is a video of 3 link and 4 link you can really see the difference as there is no wheel lift at all. If you look for my newest mrc video it shows a super steep climb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwniNn4OuVU

I did the same setup on my dads mrc which was using the stock chassis if that helps. I just used my extra lower suspension bars on his.

That looks like a really nice homebrew set up. I like the link location on the rear.

I must give you mad props for your front link mounts. I was trying for a while to figure out a way to mount them besides onto the servo plate and couldn't. You came up with a simple and very good idea.

thanks. I need to tweak it for more vertical spacing between the links, then it will be perfect. I was too focused on getting the servo low so I compromised the suspension geometry.

unfortunately I cannot find a online shop in Europe (e.g. UK or Germany) where I can buy it. Could anybody please give a hint?

you know if you got the bent links you could use the old links and attach them to the old y arm locations and run them down to the rear servo plate and attach them into the 2 screw holes its a homemade 4 link mod!
