oops :(

Looks like I need some new links as the rest of them are starting to bend. Looks like I either have to build some thicker links, or figure out a better way to mount the shocks to the links.

Thanks!

Lower links will be remade from 1/4 solid steel, and I'll weld on tabs for the shock mounts instead of drilling the links and using clamps.

Yes, they are backwards t-maxx wheels. I took the clod plastic hub, centered it on the back of the maxx wheel, drilled 5 and tapped 5 holes, and ran screws through the clod hub into the maxx wheel. Here's a pic

I drilled and tapped a 3mm hole in the middle of the link, and ran a screw through my plastic clamps that hold my shocks to the links so they dont slide.
