|  Links I was just wondering if the 4 links that go on a crawler used to extend it were all supposed to be the same length or if they were supposed to be a different length...comparing the top to the bottom |

| Depends on your mounting location. Usually they are different. Set your lowers to get your wheelbase and then your uppers for pinion angle. Actually there is a little more to it than that, but that is the jist of things. |

| see, I'm thinking about building a WK crawler...right now I have 4 T-Maxx turnbuckles (2 front and 2 rear) and I'm about to trade someone for 2 revo pushrods that are 112mm, then I 'd only need to more links to complete the extension BUT, i dont want to get all of the links then not have them line up and work correctly... |

| If I were you, I would buy 2-3 feet of 8/32 allthread and the same amount of KS aluminum tubing and make your own links. You will need two packages of revo rod ends to button it all up. Make your uppers 105mm eye to eye and the lowers 115mm eye to eye. This should give you a 12.5 inch wheelbase which is pretty good on a stage 1 style wheely king. As a side note, if you decide to do a true four link, you will need to get a suspension mount like the one from tcs or make your own from the tamiya stays. Hop over to the wheely king board for more info. |
