I'd say in series, better to keep constant juice to the motors.

Link lengths TOTALLY depend on the rig. Mock it up, guess where links will mount on your chassis and measure to the centerline of your axles or so. Just mock it up, measure and see. thats the ONLY way to get it right And its not something you wanna do twice!!
