Default Exact length of links from end of ball end to other?

What is the proper length of the links. I got Traxxas 94mm and 108mm links and need to know how far to screw the ball ends on.

Just screw them on, so most of the thread is in the rod end. You'll have to adjust link lengths after assembly too, most likely.

Every truck is different. The chassis and the way you mount the links to the axles affect this, as well as the body you end up running. You need to learn some fab skills to work with a TLT and stretch it out to 1/10 scale.

Pretty much screw them down all the way, make sure they are all the same length and bolt it up. If it doesn't line up right, adjust them untill the pitch of the axle is the way you want it.

My links which are 96/106 measure 106/116 ball to ball.
