From my experience, Bent links just cause havoc, and dont make such a big difference due to the wheelbase. As for shocks, the Duratrax Vendetta shocks i believe are the ones you want | |

i think HPI has some, but it may not be a direct fit.

Anyone here running the bent links with the GC3 chassis? I think if i mount them they will hit the upper links? |

Hey man I run bent links front and rear on mine, the rears are something I made and the fronts are the stock ones that I bent then I upgraded the rod ends to get my wheel base back to length and it works awesome I would say night and day difference with bent links well worth it. If your rears are hitting the uppers you could just run them out just a little to clear the uppers or you could do another mod I did to mine, I took the rear upper mount on the axle and ground it down so I could run the uppers on top of the mount instead of on the bottom, it helped with tork twist also.

I still disagree I had to tune my shocks a little but other than that it was no biggy going to bent links and I run a 10.5 turn motor and love it, I try to follow my berg with my mini |

either way, you cant go wrong, its more or less personal preference. I prefer running straights, because i notice if you run bents on the GC-3, it alters your COG. mini with straight links in action |

i noticed that the lowers that the GC-3 come with dont slide well on rocks as i would like them too, and are a little fat. What i opted to do was buy 3mm all thread, and get a aluminum tube (this is used to wrap around the all thread tube). this it self will reduce the diameter of the rod, and IMO slide better over rocks with alittle more clearance..

I do agree on the smaller links, I have the pros in the rear of mine that are bent with longer rod ends. |

^ does this mean your 1.9 is not comp spec? my GC-3 with all components is just at the regulation wheelbase.

i run a gc3 with rear bent links the hot racing ones and i run them with the bend right near the skid plat and i get a lot more clearance the running the bend closer to the axle but im running my own uppers in the front and back and im running the stock gc3 lowers up front and i have my rear uppers links in the middle hole |

here's mine adding the bent links didn't change the performance of the truck any but make it easier to get over break overs |
