Like Gunnar said earlier. I actually make my own lower links also using Delrin. Slides a whole lot better than Aluminum.

I went with the STRC aluminum rod ends. I would suggest just going with the Axial rod ends or buy some 5/16" delrin and traxxas E-Revo rod ends and make your own links. I loved the grey aluminum but Delrin slides a whole lot better.

The 645 will work just fine thats what im running, look around on the forum for swx builds, it should be easy to find a thread with a dig that has a standard size servo.

Make a plate to go on your upper links and zip tie.


Your axles are on the wrong way or tranny is wrong. You have it setup for a front dig not a rear dig.

just leave them there, they'll be fine... J/K man looks good so far, move the dig servo behind the motor if you have room(after you switch things around)
