| My link setup on my new RTC....opinions
I wasn't real keen on the stock setup on my new Axial RTC, so I made up my own links with aluminum, and metric rod. Nice trick if you know the length you need for links and don't wanna go to the LHS for replacements. I see it is used around here as well Anyway, here are a few pics. I put a bit of bend in the uppers for more clearance of components.It has more than enough articulation,and I may limit it some. The AA holder on the rear plate is a temporary fix for my receiver issues till I get BEC. Let me know what you guys think. |

Looks pretty good. Ya may have some rear squat and torque twist. Much better than stock.

Nice work on the links. Nothing better than home built. Try dropping the rear uppers down a hole, and move the left side rear upper to the top of the plate. Can you get a side shot of it sitting flat? |

Crazy, I had my RTC set up with bent upper links that I had made looks just like the ones you made. I didn't care for how it flexed though, seemed to bind alot to me.

Here ya go Duuuuuuuude. Here's a pic sitting on the ground. BLKXJ 96.....I have had no issues with any binding anywhere. I have maybe 2 mm of spacers in 2 areas, but that was was worse before I bent the uppers. They were rubbing the chassis slightly. Last edited by MenashaPede; 10-27-2009 at 06:54 PM. |
