The stock setup leaves much to be desired in my experiences. The 4link is superior, durability depends on how its setup.

I'm a fan of the 4 link on the scx also.
Dinky RC makes a 4 link truss Axial Dinky Link
Also R2J has one R2J Kustoms Steel 4 Link Axle Truss for Axial SCX10
Both work equally well and are quality products.

There is also the Axial plastic 4-link truss that comes with the RTR spare parts bag. I got a set via the classifieds for 3 bucks.
You can also check the RPP salvage yard for the SCX10 Spare Parts bag.

^ that. I've beat on the stock axial plastic one for awhile now without issue, on a couple different toy trucks now.

Do you have a pic of your stock 4 link setup installed? I saw the extra arms in my kit, but don't recall seeing a truss, or how to on installing the plastic arms.
Would these work with the Axial link kit?Or would i need custom links because of the different locations(compared to Axial truss) of where the links attach to?

I can get close up shots when I get home later if needed, the links are not stock. The pics in the axial blog are far better than I can get anyway :mrgreen:
For the R2j truss, you use the same length upper links as the lower links. I'm not sure on Dinky's.

Thanks... I do see the truss listed on the parts tree now. I'll have to check my kit when I get home. Will these plastic control arms not work for uppers?

Last night I converted the rear 3 link over to 4 link using the stock arms that I posted before. I used the shorter of the plastic arms as uppers, and kept the aluminum lowers. It angled the axle a bit more than desired, but it works just fine until I get some shorter aluminum uppers...

What's wrong with it? Straightest line between the trans output and diff pinion, keeps it off the rocks too.

Yeah thats true... I guess it's like the angled shims I put between my axle and leaf on my 1:1 to make the driveline less likely to bind

I've found my 4 Link setup to be quite superior to my old 3 link, much more versatile and capable.
