Rear link lengths?

[MNorby]

I found that the lower trailing arms are 119mm eye-to-eye. Can anyone confirm that and also have the length of the upper links?

116mm & 103mm

[MNorby]

ah, ok. Thank you

[89redranger]

After measuring again just because I couldn't remember, the uppers look to be 102.5mm eye-eye.

[89redranger]

If you're making your own links try the uppers at 105mm and in the lower hole in the tub. That's how I have mine set up now, and it's better than any setup I've tried yet. Including raising the uppers at the axle. Just keep the ride height low to make the best of the factory geometry. These weren't meant to be tall cars and raising them puts the rear axle at a terrible point in the suspension's geometry and raises link angles. Same goes for the front really.

Actually want to use twin hammers trailing arms in a bomber to shorten the wheelbase. Probably to to find some blue monkey ones unless there are other brands to look for? Uppers will be too short for this.

[89redranger]

Blue Monkey may be your best bet. They use Revo ends on both ends, meaning you could also use a Jato end, which is longer, to adjust the length. Should put you about where you need. Check BMRC's site though, they list the lengths with different rod ends.

As in the Axial Bomber?

I'm running Hot Racing trailing arms but am not sure if they would work for what you're trying to do.

BTW, I also have the Bomber so I'm curious to learn the results for your experiment with Twin Hammer trailing arms.

[MNorby]

Here is the start of the discussion on it. I picked up a used set of Blue Monkey Wraith length arms. Need to trade those off for some Twin Hammers ones I think. Anyone want to extend their Twin Hammers about a half an inch....? ;)


Wheelbase vs trailing arm length

So by shortening the arms, what are you planning to run for the driveshafts?

[MNorby]

For now I am running the plastic axial shafts with a long and a short section. Once I go shorter yet can swap to both short sections or cut one down if needed. Once I dial it in I can try to find a MIP that will fit
