Anti-wrap bars made easy!

[Reaxion911]

Hey all ive come to the conclusion that running a titan 12t on 3s is going to cost me a pile on replacing leafs so ive come up with this. Erevo pushrod links fit perfectly.

stays plush and works well with the scx10 shocks and 80wt

well sumbitch... i know what im doing tomorrow.

 

[Reaxion911]

Corr. Revo push rods are not a direct fit. One end had to have 1/16" grond back and the same off of the endlink to shorten the whole link 1/16. It would fit without but binds. Also lower one is bent a little to shorten and give back clearance.

nice! yeah a 12t on 3s is a bit overkill for a scaler. that screw underneath the axle looks like it's gunna catch on everything, will the lower link attach to the shock mount like an scx10 axle? might get the link up out of the way

 

[Reaxion911]

It wasnt quit long enough to reach the shock mount. Pan head screws are kind a must for those lower mount screws. I was concerned that it would catch but took it for a test run and didnt get hung up once. And the benefit far outweighed the small loss in clearance. Guess it helps im running 4.7" tires

good work saw your post on the facebook account as well.

 

[Reaxion911]

Ran 3 3000mah 3s packs today with no popped shafts. Leafs are almost bent inverted now but its crazy soft and works way better than they look! Lol

There were zip ties on it when i went out

 

[Reaxion911]

Ive got another set on order im going to run the helper underneath the main

Do you really need two bars ? Wouldn't one work just as well.

Have to have the top and bottom of the axle linked to one point, if you only linked one of the 2, the axle would still wrap. Having the 2 straight bars works well for on-road with little to no articulation, but for something that's made to flex the 2 links need to be connected to a shackle on the chassis roughly the same length as the current swing shackles to work "properly".

so is his setup wrong ?

Im pretty sure the pics show articulation with the bars. Up and down travel is limited by the bars but articulation is not. They work because they are mounted close together and near the center of the axle.

I tried one but the leafs are soft and flex enough to wrap anyway

 

[jp0160]

Sorry, up-and down travel is what I meant. The axle wants to stretch forward because the swing shackles are at the ends of the truck, and if you have 2 separate bars fixed to the skid instead of having them connected together to a swing shackle, they will start to bind a bit as the suspension compresses. A on-road truck wouldn't need that much travel, so 2 separate bars work just fine

 

[old man 52]

I guess i got some thinking to do now.

 

[Koldham]

I don't see how that works. Wouldn't it bind up the whole thing because the axle can't move forward when it cycles?

 

[Reaxion911]

Try it. It works.

 

[Koldham]

i did. the axle wouldnt budge. you need a swing shackle in there somewhere or cut the pin off the ubolt plate. can you take a video of what happens when you cycle the suspension?

 

[jp0160]

Like so!





I put a thick rubber bushing to squeeze the "swing shackle" tight to the skid

 

[Koldham]

yeah thats how i was going to make mine if i couldnt figure out the individual link way.
