I think he was suggesting that you mount your bottom links on top of the axle instead ofthe bottom. More clearance that way.

I am wondering, dirk said that the way the links are mounted on his crawler that it took away the chassis twist under throttle. How is this done??

UPDATE... Im goin back to the TXT-1 axles now... last night my friend was tearing down his TXT-1 for his custom chassis and so I got a chance to "test fit" the axles on my crawler well there a perfect fit!!! without the stupid single pivot suspension design I had thought but before, the links are perfetly parrallel so there is NO angle change when the suspension is compressed... I'll have some pics up tonight for you guys...

SORRY FOR THE DELAY MY COMPUTER WAS DOWN...

HERE ARE THE PICS I PROMISED...
