For the Lower link you can drill 1 hole in each of the lower axle housings. Use either a 4mm ball or 4mm bolt. :o
Here...



The top link people mount many different ways, here are 2.
#1 Top link with a short piece of 3/8 aluminum rod and a single 4-40 hole drilled for the links. :o


Alot of people mount them on top of the axles, with a small piece of aluminum.Right here.


No matter where you mount them, that chassis allows plenty of arcticulation because there is no long full frame to contact the tires.

[skoolbus]

Also, velcro works really well for your esc and receiver. Fixed atop the clear electrics plate, it holds well and lasts forever.

Thanks for the tips... I must say, the links on this chassis are BEEEEEF. HUGE and strong.. I guess I'll have to scrounge up some hardware, and aluminum rod...

You can pick up a 3 foot piece of rod at lowe's or home depot type stores for under 3$ 8O

just a lil word of advice. try to stay away from mounting the upper links to the aluminum braces on top of the axle. i did it for a quick fix. it allws way way too much lateral travle from the axles. go out and make a center pin so u can triangulate (big word ) the upper links. you will get a way better end result. as far as performance... this chassis kicks some serious ass. omg it blows my friends txt out of the water. i havent done anything competitive with it, but i take it with us on the full size jeep trips, and it keeps right up... lol have fun!!!

He is a lazy bastard who hasn't done anything to his rig. His GF is going to Australia some time soon so maybe he'll have time aside from being whipped

GET IT DONE SCOTT :P

If you have a pic I would love to see how it came out 8O

[PoRiggity]

All the stuff Dave said is true. I havent been around for a while.. I got a big toy to play with....


I have decided to just order the upperlinks from a place dave showed me.. so once those get here.. all I need is some velcro and it'll be done.. Ive got 38 days...

Dave Gentle giant bastage!
