Default SWX chassis link lengths?

I want to swap out the stock chassis for the SWX chassis and i need to know what lenghts are the upper and lower links and what ends to use if it matters. I just bought a AX-10 with aluminum links. a buddy gave me the chassis with no links and i want to get the same wheel base as stock ( I think). Any idea of which lengths to buy?

If you buy the SWX new the links are included, no math involved...




The one real problem with this chassis is binding, you need to replace the lower-link ball-ends going the chassis with the Axial bent ball-ends. As far as those new links you have, I recommend not running them, you'll get more money out of them if they are new (they won't work on the SWX chassis unless you extend your drive shafts; and if you compete you'll be too long.)

Why not commission one of our vendors to make you some nice new bent links, out of delrin? Pretty sure R2J does them. I have bent delrin links on my SWX, and they work great.

Skills, props and the generosity! Thanks for the free lower links R2j. With the lowers and the uppers i bought from you and the 4 link plate from Axial you suggested, the set up was awesome. The old familar park in Lakewood was boring to the 7 year old now. Now he is popping drive shafts left and right. thanks R2j.
