|  Noob Maxx Question... Well I don't consider myself a noob to crawling, but new to Maxx's. I'm gonna be getting one in the next week or two and I have some pretty basic mods I'm planning but have a question. I've searched, done some research, and looked at a ton of pics but couldn't find what I was looking for. Question is, what is the factory "link" set-up on a Maxx? I see most people 4-link them that are trying to make a decent crawler. Is it possible to get decent articulation with the factory design?? My plans will be- gear reduction, SAS, shock change, servo, spools, and tires for the time being. I just need to know if a 4-link set-up is a neccesity or just an option... TIA, Jon Last edited by RANOVRU; 01-28-2006 at 10:33 AM. |

| well if your doing the SAS like you said, you have to 4 link it since the axle will be solid |

| Could elaborate a little, for a noobs sake?? I understand what you're saying, but that doesn't answer the question of the factory design. On a stock Maxx what keeps the axle from moving side to side, rolling, etc.?? A nice close-up pitcure of the axle of a stock one would be awsome. But I'm sure the chances of someone having a stock Maxx around here is slim... |

| A stock Maxx has 4 wheel independent suspension. The diff is mounted to the frame and upper and lower A-arms allow for suspension movement. |
