| Need to extend rear suspension 49mm on 1/10 Baja Rey
I don't have the parts in front of me to compare arms and driveshafts, but as the title says I need to extend the rear out 49mm for a build I'm trying to do... I'm hoping somebody can help me out with measurements of arms and a longer driveshaft option... If anybody's curious, I'm working on a Newbright body and trying to get it as realistic as I can the track width fits almost perfectly but, the wheelbase on the Newbright is 420mm and the wheelbase on the 1/10 Baja rey is 371mm |

Yeah, I'm still looking, the used market for donor parts and rigs have changed, and some that have been used just a few years ago aren't even company's anymore...Ya should see the "RC" folder for my browser, lol I was even looking at UDR's but even used they are big bucks. If it was a few years ago I'd just be buyin up entire rigs just for their parts, to kit bash and see what just "works" LOL The bottom arms and the driveshaft seem to be my issue...My idea was with this to extend the rear the 49mm use the UDR style twin shocks and an upgraded anti sway bar...the upside to longer arms is it should have more droop and articulation and more stability at higher speed due to the longer wheelbase, turns might still be sketchy though. 1/10 https://www.rcexpress.net/images_sub...lrr56u01-4.jpg SBR https://www.bigsquidrc.com/wp-conten...Baja-Rey-6.jpg |

well the easy solution is just make your own links i normally use stainless tubing but 6mmx4mm titanium would be stronger for driveshafts i would ether use a exsisting shaft and modify it or go with the wild boar wb8 hd driveshafts and peice one together |

What size are the rod ends on this? If I can find extended metal links I might be able to use these for the lower trailing arms. I can't find or I'm missing the specs on the parts. All it says is Item Dimensions LxWxH 6.5 x 4 x 0.59 inches but nothing about the plastic rod ends everybody breaks off on these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...k_ql_qh_dp_hza |
