trx4 axles on a gspeed chassis
 

Good day all,

Im building a new gspeed chassis with TRX4 axles. Those that have done this, what links did you use? I made some custom links out of brass based off of the SCX 10ii and thy seem a little short. The wheel base is just about 12 inches, instead of the 12.3

Any suggestions on link lengths?

Play around with different length rod ends maybe, you're close.

What about Traxxas Jato rod ends? They're a little longer.

I may have to look into those, I used the TRA5347 ends. Im going to be remaking some links again as high clearance, so I can make them longer and maybe use different rod ends as well to make up the length needed. I need to wait until my body get here though, so I make the links fit the body though.

For fabricating custom links, all-thread really is you friend here. I put the whole mess on blocks, get the WB and axle angles where I want them, then take rough measurements. Using the rod-end I am going to use for the actual build, measure those from center eye to the end, your all-thread links should be long enough to engage about half way up the rod end, this gives you some adjustment, if needed.
