Re: How To: Make your own links Ditto on the 8/32, Ive been making links for about 3 hours today!! |
Re: How To: Make your own links same on the 8-32. have about 5 sets made with it and not one has torn out. another thing, i've been using 1" threaded studs i get through mcmaster carr in 5/16 delrin rod. very good system once you make yourself a driver bit for them. |

Re: How To: Make your own links His style is different. He's using solid Delrin rod and drilling the ends, not 1/4" tube and all-thread. |
Re: How To: Make your own links Rods came in an impressive 2 days! For those interested, I used 8-32 rods from Home Depot, 4mm (inner diameter) K&S aluminum rods, and Traxxas #5347 ball-ends. Perfect fit and no additional taping necessary. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1305/img9965b.jpg http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1407/img9966o.jpg |

Re: How To: Make your own links For years I've had great success with the all-thread and sleeve links but when I saw this thread I just had to try it. Got the stuff I needed and got a chance to make some today. Turned out great and they feel super strong so I just wanted to say thanks for the idea. If anyone is wanting to try stainless steel I found some at metaldepot.com for a good price. You can get 6' worth in 2ft lengths for about $20 shipped easily enough for a couple trucks. Thanks again"thumbsup" |
Re: How To: Make your own links has anyone tried making their links out of 1/4 inch solid alluminum,i turned down the alluminum to 4mm and threaded the end for the revo end ,it was the first try and it turned out great ,i had about 20 feet of it that i never used and i just thought i try it and it was super easy and they feel super strong.i will get pics soon. |
Re: How To: Make your own links i lack a lathe, but made a couple with the drill out and stud method, worked well. don't run em since i switched to delrin for slickness on the rock. |

Re: How To: Make your own links i was needing longer links for a rig i am building but stainless tube is really expensive so thought why not try it ,most of the stuff i do is trail runs so think it will be fine at least better than plastic.and cost me nothing but a little time. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...i/links002.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...i/links005.jpg |

Re: How To: Make your own links Looks good but it won't be as strong as drilling and tapping the aluminium to hold a long M4 grub screw (25mm or so). Try that if you snap these. |
Re: How To: Make your own links i went with solid alluminum ,i can buy the alluminum really cheap and it only takes a few minutes to turn down and thread.i am sure it would be stronger if i drill and tap but i wanted to use what i have so i didn't have to go looking for grub screws .i only did one end to see if i can do it. |
Re: How To: Make your own links so a report on the 3/16th links. they are very nice and strong, but the steel allows some movement. ill be bumping to 1/4" on the next ones. |

Are you talking about titanium links from VP ?? Evan |
Re: How To: Make your own links yea i was. they are great, but my god the price. |
Re: How To: Make your own links Something I did and it was really cheap was used all-thread and sleeved them with archery cut offs I got free from my local archery shop. The sleeves were from carbon arrows, really strong. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...911/arrows.jpg |
