Try a set using 8-32 stainless all thread, and 1/4" stainless tubing....the K&S stuff you find at hobby stores and hardware stores. The plated all-thread isn't the greatest, so I only use stainless. It's a bit more expensive but worth it. |
Whatever you use, don't make 'em weird :): http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...setuppers6.jpg http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...ffsetlink1.jpg |
I love the upper links in the top picture. I've been thinking about doing that with my front lowers for some time now. Did you have any issues with the link rotating on itself? Can you explain what is going on in the second picture, I can't make it out. "thumbsup" |

The lowers on the bottom rig was a joke post, to gain link clearance behind the chassis. Going forward would be OK, but reversing would be the hangup point. There is a chunk of aluminium mounting the rodend to the link at a 90 degree angle. I think with a shallower angle, maybe 25-30 degrees, that might work better. |
Do you guys use a special tap for Ti i wanted to build some 3/16 links but didnt want to buy anything with out knowing first |

What if you use 3/16 steel brake lines would they be stronger? |
Do you guys have a part number from mcmaster carr? I see they have different types. I'll keep checking in for I need to order asap."thumbsup" |

I've been building mine out of Delrin from Rcbros. Easy to work with and plenty strong. I use the hollow 1/4 rod for uppers. Comp guys will argue that it flexes too much. For a basher, it is great. The rods flex instead of breaking other parts. I'm currently testing them on my Clod racer. We'll see how that goes. |
Made my first link. 3/16th rod, revo ends. tapped 10/24 thread. kept the plastic drag link as a fail point for my $100 servo. http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...t/c374e3a6.jpg |
Anyone ever used 10mm solid alloy rod with holes drilled and tapped in each end to take a thread for rod ends? Thinking of doing this for my big truck build. |
