Default tlt yota questions..

ive been viewing threads on this forum for a while and finally got hooked on the hobby. i recently bought a nikko toyota hilux body off skippy with some custom links. skippy gave me some pictures on how to mount the links on my truck. i dont have all the metal stuff he has but i found ways to make it work with what i have. the lower links seem to have good placement but i wasnt too sure about the upper links. they were centered on top of the axle. i put the link mounts on top of the rear servo mount as seen on the pictures. what do you guys think? where do you think the best mounting position for the best articulation? i dont really know where to put it so feedback would be nice.

the best way to mounting them is by moving the tlt susp. stay back to the middle of the servo mount so the upper links make ( V ). Because the way u have u would have them the axle will move side to side and that is not good.

this is what they should like when mounted

Welcome to the board.I see by your user id that your either from a tiny Pacific island called Guam or you were stationed on Guam(Anderson Air Force Base)at one time.I'm a local from Guam.You've come to the right place to get you started on your tlt build.Good luck.
