|  Stock chassis build ?'s
I did search and didn't find what I was looking for. I'm building a crawler for my 8 year old son and I'm going to use the stock chassis for now. What links do you use for upper and lower for a 11-12" WB? Are there any you can buy that are the correct length or will I have to make them. I'd rather just buy em' if I can. Has anyone tried to shoehorn a stealth tranny into a stock chassis? That's the plan but I don't have the chassis yet to see what will have to be fabbed. This should prove to be a lot more complicated than building my bender chassis rig.

Here's another. I also made my own links. I run right at 12" for the wheelbase and my lowers are 4 1/2" from hole to hole. I cut about an inch off the bottom of the chassis and used stock holes for the lowers and made new ones for the uppers. Upper links are the stock TLT lowers adjusted for the preferred drive line angle. Hope this helps!  |
