C4 LNC Build

[-BIGMAXX-]

Thanks for the tips. as for the shaft angles they are pretty extreme but I have not been able to test it as the rear shaft is now at the point where it only sits half way in. I need to find a way to angle the axle a bit or find longer shafts to keep the shaft in place.

I do need to brace the shock mounts as they do tend to twist as does the whole chassis with my coat hanger braces in place. I have extra link material i can make the braces from.

Any reason not to do bend links on the front end as well?

Thanks again

i don't see a reason not to, i ran bent front and rear on the stock chassis no problem at all. you'll notice now that your fronts will take a lot of beating, taking the brunt of the impact on doing break overs. and those lnc lowers will start flexing BAD the more you run it, i could bend mine to the point the eye to eye on the ends was only about 2 inches. keep the uppers though, they're about bomb proof....good plastic molded around a steel core, kept em as long as i could.

I am currently looking for info on limiting my shock travel which will also bring the axle angle back in line a bit and solve my shaft issues. Any body got a link to how to place a block inside the shock or another way to do this.

gotta take the shock apart a lot of the way to do this, or take the rod end off and use a lot of lube to make sure it doesn't eat the o-rings. as far as limiter, most use nitro fuel line, i use some stuff i found that is used on an old planter....works good. at least on the lnc shocks, there's a couple e-clips holding the piston on the shaft, pop those off, put tubing on, pop back on. not sure about your new shocks, may be different.

If you still have a problem with the LNC shafts being too short, The LCC shafts will fix this. They are telescoping and longer than the LNC.
