Looks good for sure. Try the lower link in the upper hole at the axle C hub. You'll get better link clearance that way.

I will move the links as soon as i can get a set lathe motors. The permax 600s are too long.

Reading between what lines?

To move the bottom links up you'll need longer upper links to keep the castor right. Never tried permax on mine but with lathe motors and rcguy adj motor mounts the lower links will clear just fine




just noticed you're from W. Texas......I'm in Ft. Worth. What is it with all us Texans and booger chassis's?

actually, you can just remake the lower links....... I would get a good bend em them though, for clearance. Didnt see too much axle steer setup like that. That seems to be the hardest thing to get rid of for me, when doing these chassis!!

Oh yeah didn't think about that. That would be easier than buying and making new upper links since all you'd have to do is just cut the lower links down. Plus the wheelbase shouldn't change too drastically.

As for bending the arrow links..... don't know. Never tried before. If you do decide to bend them try filling the shafts with sand when you do it. It helps the bends turn out better, so I'm told.

Tried bending arrows, and didnt work too good. Some good 3/8" rod would work though!!
