High(er) tie rod on TLT axles

[generalee7]

I'm wondering how to move the tie rod up on top of the knuckles on my TLT axles using pieces from the Rock Buster kit, is this possible? Here is how I have it set up now and I'd like it up a little higher. I just have the drag link going to the ball on the passenger side and 2 balls screwed on the underside of the knuckles. Thanks for any help!

nice you got a tlt-1 brain! I'm not sure if you can move it up with those rod ends but I have a few extra traxxas rod ends that you can have so you can have run everything on top of the knuckles.
when you gonna have your rig done? I think my rig is finally just about done.

I put a longer silver rod on the left side in that pic, and put the drag link have a rod end balls on each side, not using the screw on ball deals, except for the link that goes to the servo! I will get a pic tomorrow!

Do it just like this. Know just add your drag link to the top left hand side.

hey brain, nope not building a TLT, but it is a 2.2. I am using some old radio shack diffs I had laying around and locked them out maxx style. It's cool they're high pinion and high clearance. What other plans you got for this thing? (chassis, tranny, tires, etc.) I threw an old gen 1 stealth I had laying around into mine.

Sweet! I just finished JB welding my diffs yesterday. As far as everything else goes, I'm shooting for a scale rig SW2 chassis, Stampede tranny, Moab's, HPI Spike wheels, Tekin Rebel 2, Evader shocks, 55t Integy, TQ3 radio, it'll be a fun truck for sure!

Oh ok I see now, so its just a bolt and nut that holds them all together. I think I saw some of those in the TLT kit, I'll see if I can make it work, thanks a lot guys!
