|  3 and 4 link what are they?
Ok I want to know exactly what 3 and 4 link suspensions are I realize it may have been asked a million times but my phone sucks at using the search. I want dummiefied explanations but please don't insult my intelligence either. Pictures would be nice too. I'm asking in regards to my scx10 |

A 3 link & 4 link is just what it says. A 3 link has 3 links coming from the chass. to the axle. A 4 link has 4 links coming from the chass. to the axle. Some are plastic, al. or ti. They connect the axles to the chass. Hope that helps.  |

It is easier to understand if you see a picture. I have a picture of the 4-link setup from the bottom in my build thread. K7ZPJ's Honcho Build I bought a couple of the 4-link trusses from the SCX-10RTR kit from the RPP Salvage Yard and extened the metal top links that came with my kit. |

That is correct. The Y-mount on the axle is taken off and replaced with the 4-link truss which has two brackets for connecting the top links. The instructions for the Axial Metal link set has drawings of what it looks like. http://docs.axialracing.com/instruct...cx10-links.pdf This only one of the many ways to do 4-link for the SCX-10. There are several differnt 4-link mounts available from various vendors and you can build the links yourself. |

4-links allow smoother and increased articulation. (Better geometry.)
