|  4link to the top? How? PIcs? Newby!!!
I am begining on my quest to build this clod I have baught three sets of axles and I intend on getting this right, but I am on a budget! (baught the axles last year!) I was wondering about this whole mounting the lower links to the top of the c. 1st what is the c. 2 does anyone have pics of this done? 3rd anyone wanna buy a set of axles? also I am going for the 16 inch wheel base will that be a problem with hitting my motors? I am also curios if anyone funs 5\16 lowers instead of the 1\4 or is that just overkill? I just bought the Revo rod ends. I have 55 lathes, tmaxx shocks (is there a lighter spring than the red I should get?) Guys I need help, I have spent alot of time using search but I am still unhappy with my findings. Bryce |

there is a hole in the top of the "C" you can kinda see it here, it mounts threw the whole just below the metal axle brace  |

usually with a 4 link setup you mount the lower links to the axle C where the metal axle brace is bolted to the C (the part where the knuckles are bolted on). you need a longer screw to go through the axle C, the brace, and then your rod end and associated hardware... the upper links are usually mounted to a bracket that is bolted through the axle case where the stock Clod steering linkage went, just like in the pic shown above... |

As mentioned, the "C" is where the knuckle is attatched to the axle tube. Mounting your lower links to the upper part of the C does require a longer screw and will help with the motor clearance issue. Another idea is to buy or make your own brackets to mount links to.  Here is a set of brackets that I made. They act as shock/link mounts. The upper 4 holes are for shock locations, the other is for the link. You can see in the pic though the upper screw in the C that would serve as a stand alone link mount |

did you figure out everything you needed to know? I use the red springs on my tmaxx shocks. do you still have a set of clod axles you want to get rid of?
