Hi all, I'm located in Australia and I want to get into crawling so I got myself the following parts: Axial ARTR kit Futaba 3pm-x 3ch 2.4ghz Turnigy 1800mAh 2S Lipo Pack BMS-660DMG+HS Servo Pitbull Rock tyres Pitbull memory foams VP 4 link rear plate VP 4 link front plate VP Incision Pro Axial Chassis VP Zero Acker HS knuckles VP shock mount razors LiPo Battery Low Voltage Alarm Indicator Charger 55T Axial motor ESC Nosram Tomahawk (Existing) - I'll see if it works otherwise I'll have to get something else. I plan on competing after some practice, but the problem now is I have no idea how to set up the 4 link front and back, I have to keep the 12.5" WB, I have bought some link ends, threaded rod and delrin rod for the links. Is there a method to set the suspension links up? Like place the chassis centred between the diffs on a block of wood or something and then measure from diffs to chassis and cut and add link ends??? Does anyone have a similar list of parts to me who can give me link lengths and hole posistions they've positioned the links too. I have kept the Axial shocks for now.... Help please!!!  (Front 4-link not shown) |

Looks like a good start to me... I'd definitely recommend getting some 4" shocks. Even on a stock axial chassis, they made a big difference in lowering my CoG and in overall performance.

That's exactly what I was after, hopfully the photos are good enough to see where the owner installed the links to the chassis.  | |

Has anybody had problems with the front shocks hitting the VP 4 link front battery plate?

I have not heard of it before, but it could be because you have the shock razors on the front which will bring the shocks closer to the plate. Maybe try laying you shocks down a bit if that is possible. Post up some pics So we can see what you are dealing with.

Thanks Flizz.... Here is where I'm at, lower links added....sorry for the photo, was done with my phone camera.  I'm assuming the top links will level out the link plates, are they supposed to be parallel with the ground? |

Your link plates will usually be pitched away from the chassis toward the ground. The idea is to keep the drivelines relatively straight between the tranny and the axles. Overall, rigs lookin pretty good Hemi |
