|  LINKS....what are you using? Ok, I just received my TLT kit in the mail today, and I started my project. I am using the Dodge Powerwagon body (wheelbase is just about 12in.). I bought Traxxas Revo links (part no. 5319) and the wheelbase is about 13 1/2 inches. What other links should I use? I also have a bronco body, which is just about the same wheelbase. Bulu2 chassis Tmaxx shocks Tmaxx sliders Pede tranny Revo links TLT axles Moab 2.2 with HPI wheels Bronco or Powerwagon body |

| Not sure about the TXT link length, but the TRA5318 are about 1/4 inch shorter than the TRA5319 so that would get you down to 13" you may have to make some or drill holes in the stock chassis! Later, Jake |
