| SMT10 sway bar relocation
Would like to change out the "yeti" links to something a bit more scale. I understand to do that I would have to figure something out with the sway bar. Anyone come up with a creative way to install it while still running to the axle? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It wouldn't be too hard. You'll just have to find something, similar to a clamping servo horn, to pinch the lower links and have a mounting spot for the sway bar link. Something similar to this: |

What about the Yeti AR60 link mount, AX31433.

The wraith front sway bar works if you drill through the farthest back "bar" on the truck. It just barely clears the shocks in the classic location (on axle). I'll try to get pics, as I've just recently done this. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

The links are custom, not sure how well the links that come with the wraith front sway will work. The ones pictured are 20mm axial links with txt-2 end links. I changed to those recently and there's some contact. Might have to play around with the ends to clear well. Also, be sure to space the shocks out on the top. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

I am anxious to see what the aftermarket comes up with. You would assume that Axial has put some thought into alternative sway bar locations given the multiple shock mounts. It will probably be something that will get released as part of the kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

both sway bars MODDED. the shocks have changed multiple times since this picture, but sway bars have not. 3mm PTFE washers on frame side of sway bars, helps keep them tight with ZERO bind. Note- the shocks are still mounted in same locations, but oil changes, and little tweaks to make them much softer. ( fan of the soft setup on this truck ) |

stock OEM axial shocks. (smt10) i happen to like the stock shocks, but the lower cap is a pain. tried all types of methods, but in the end its still a pain. The plastic threaded insert offers the best of both worlds IMO. its soft enough not to scratch the shock shafts, flexible to prevent bends, and is always exposed to the shock oil. the Axial o-rings are junk though, and i switched to PTFE spacers and 3 O-rings instead of the 2 o-rings and plastic spacer. The oil used is a oddball type too, 50CST weight, so its like water. soft enough to work. if you going for a similar setup, then give a few things a try, see pictures below. the springs are the softest Axial makes for the smt10.

On my Kids trucks, i kept it simple, but the boots do work well, after a little adjustment. ( seriously extendes time between rebuilds ) this picture shows the boots/mounted. The truck is undergoing a screw swap, and associated parts to prevent future failures. beef tubes, gears all around, Motor rebuilds with waterproof mods, shimmed transmission, coilspring servo-saver, etc..... the kids Can really push componets to failure, so this should help prevent some.
