I ordered the mounts on the 25th and still haven't gotten them. I went to the web site and it says Sorry, the shop is inaccessible temporarily. Please try again later. |

Just received my order! Ordered in the evening the 29th, order status said "completed" on the 30th, 5 days exactly to my door... that is just bang on!  Tonight I will check out those new design WK shock/link mounts that I ordered to see if they are loose or tight fitting when used with shaved down WK axle housings. I will report back to you guys on my findings and if possible I will snap some photos (if I can zoom it in enough). Now I can start working on my axle rebuild because I finally have the RCguy diff lockers that I wanted. Thanks guys!!  EDIT: I wasted no time in getting them installed tonight. The shock mounts fit 100% perfectly without any "tabs" on the axle housing. Screw them down, they fit super snug. I tried to move them with force, no such luck. Very nice job on the mounts btw ! Here are the pics..  Enlarged so you could see see there is no tab.  (.. you might have also noticed the tcs link centre mount & locking wheel hubs ... ;) ...) EDIT #2: Found out that they dont quite work with a King Bling Servo Mount...   Needless to say ... a little cutting of the mount should do it. I don't think that Harvey0706's custom mount would fit the mount either... would it? Last edited by Nerve; 11-06-2007 at 08:49 PM. |

  Problem was that with AL knuckles, C's and CVD's, I had to clearance the mounts to allow full steering throw. I realize I've probably dashed any hope of any warranty repairs, should they break (which looks unlikely) But this is a design revision I would advise for the next run. I doubt I am the only one who wants to get this much steering throw. This would likely not have been a problem with the prototype drawing on the first page of this thread. I like that design better. That said, I would buy these again, they are really sweet. Edit: Yes, my tie rod is bent, I had to do that too to get full steering throw. It's totally worth it though...

hmm... I have the exact same RCP front end parts as you do. Check out these pics in my build thread. I have changed the clocking angle of the front axle since these photos were taken. Updated ones are in the main thread. Nerve's WK Crawler Build It looks like where you dremeled was on the upper side of that mount? When the links run on the lower side...? My front rod link doesn't even contact those TCS link mounts. The rod that goes from knuckle to knuckle contacts the pumpkin before it hits those mounts. I'm almost sure of it. I will take another look at it when I get home tonight. As as update to that older post of mine above..... I wont even be using that King Bling servo mount in my build. The material is too think and it hinders steering movement with the new RCP parts. So a friend of has offered to make me up a custom fit centre mounted servo mount. Apparently its done, still waiting to get it or see some pics. Last edited by Nerve; 12-07-2007 at 07:47 AM. |

Chrisjlittle: Just snapped some pics for you to see of my front end setup.    Hmmm just noticed one thing in your photo. The knuckle with the #2 on it, is that the left front of your crawler? (think about it being a real car and is that the drivers front side). If it is, would the link be better below the knuckle arm vs being above it like it is in your pics ?? Mine are mounted below that arm and they fit fine as you can see. Tonight i pickup my centre servo mount  |
