How long are your upper and lower links? Also do you know of any off the shelf links that would work or am I gonna have to make my own?

The upper links all depend on what hole you mount them on, on the chassis.

For me the rear uppers 85mm, I am using a 55mm+30mm axial post mounts.
For the fronts I am using 70mm axial post mounts(because I am using the Battery/servo mount they are shorter).Both front and rear UPPERS are using REVO SHOCK ROD ENDS. I really like the Revo shock ends, they take 3mm thread and are super strong.Traxxas part #[SIZE=-1]5469, they don't come with balls, I am using the balls that came with my standard revo rod ends.


I cant remember how long my lowers are right now.I can get a measurement tomorrow for you.

You drilled out the holes in your shock pistons right? What size did you drill them with and what weight oil you running? I have the stock pistons and 50 weight oil and it compresses and retracks realy slow.....maybe to slow.:lol:

Guess you didnt read post #60:lol::lol::lol:

I drilled out the pistons with a #55 drill bit and I am running 35w up front and 50w in the rear. The yellow jato springs see a little stiff for my liking.I just picked up some 2.7lbs springs now that I will be testing tomorrow.

 

[yotachump]

Got some lower links drawn up for this the other day. I should see them in about four weeks:lol::lol::lol:.

I was originally going to make them without holes but the machine shop needed the holes for easier setup purposes.Come to find out after FEA tests that the holes make the links stronger:lol:.

Thanks


I already trimmed the sides, So all I have to do is trim the front up. Still thinking of how I want to cut it.

To get these stickers you buy something from me:lol::lol:.
