I am going to make a tube chassis for a TLT. With a 12 inch wheelbase. I was wondering how long the links would have to be to have good articulation? If the links end up too long will that hurt artic...? I was also wondering how long I would have to make the bottom part of the chassis, where the tranny will be? It will use a Stampede tranny.

Thanx Dust

what is the length of the bottom going to be. or rather how far are the link mounts going to be from each other?

longer links are less likely to limit flex, but also you can gain a little center clearance with slightly shorter links. It all just depends on your chassis design
