Check this out guys...

Some of you guys may have seen these mounts at the Nationals last month. This mount allows you to fine tune the rear suspension of the comp crawler by raising the upper link mounting point at the axle in 4mm increments.

In testing, we've noticed that raising the mounting point at the axle made a pretty dramatic improvement to how the truck reacts on vertical stuff.

These should be in stock at Horizon within the next few weeks.

looks sweet, if i remember correctly didn't dlux just make something like this? Is this best with just the rears, and it looks, not positive though, they ain't compatible with the moa???

I'm not sure if there's another one like this out there. The Losi team guys have been playing with this idea since ECC :mrgreen:

Since the MOA kit uses its own brackets, it won't be compatible with this link mount
 
Very nice! Seen where some others was talking about how much this helps"thumbsup"

Also notice that you have your rear shocks outboarded even more had thoughts of this myself, does it feel more stable this way?

Thanks for the update on parts maybe we will be seeing some more soon!:mrgreen:
 
I would think this would be a huge improvement. I've tryed mounting them low on my MOA and high. And with very little weight in the front it seems very planted on long steep climbs.With the uppers spaced up. Not trying to high jack the thread but i agree 100% on the this mod"thumbsup".

It looks like you've killed the fuel tubing limiter on that driver rear shock...

This is the other one, http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=272037, ok thats what i was thinking maybey i will play with some linkes and mount them to my moa bracket, would this be just a rear mod?
 
Have you guys tried running this and/or spacers in the front?

The aluminum link mount won't work in the front without some heavy modification.

I tried running a spacer in the front and didn't like how the truck felt after raising the axle side link mounts in the front... plus it raised up the servo enough that I was afraid of smashing it in a hard roll.

Raising the front mounts is still worth experimenting with, but for my setup it didn't make the same drastic improvement that raising the rear link mounts did.
