Chassis?

[NitroX]

Can someone tell me if this chassis will work with Clod axles? I know it says Axial, Losi etc... but the only difference between this one and the 55mm is the width unless Im not seeing something. If so, which links would you use for a 2.2 with a 12.5" wheelbase?
Thanks...http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=flm71500

Clod axles can fit on any chassis, really. Since there is no center transmission, all you need is a decent way to mount some 4 links to the chassis and it will work.

As for link length, you can make your own, or at least figure out the dimensions you need, and have somebody else custom make them for you. Get some 8/32 threaded rod and some Revo rod ends. You can get a rough idea of what length you'll need by measuring and a little trail and error. Threaded rod is pretty cheap. If you decide to make your own links, then all you need to do is throw some aluminum tube over the threaded rod and you'll have some cheap links. If you want solid rods, then you just need to find somebody willing to make them for you, or if you are good with power tools, you could probably manage the job on your own.
