if you have your main chassis and gearboxes, set them up at your desired wheelbase, and just measure the distance between your mounting points.

Measure distance for upper links with rod ends you will be using.Then use the one as a jig and cut/make 3 more. Do the same for the lower links.

Just remember to take in account the rod ends, otherwise you will be cutting a little off every link. Ask me how I know this.

very good idea to wait... links are not something you wanna guess at. Cutting them too long is not big deal, just a waste of time really... but too short- then you are wasting material.

What chassis are you using?
