im getting the 4wd kit tonight along with a aluminum bellcrank(wanted to do servo mount but dad would let me buy one or help me make one).
after christmas i want to get some losi rock claws and rpm crawler wheels.
do you think the stock steering lever would e strong enuff as lower links?
i also might buy the rc4wd wb extension lit and use half of the kit to get 11"wb.
does this kit look good?http://www.teamstrc.com/ebproductdetail.asp?catmainid=13&id=118i might use half of the kit and need to get rod ends and new drive shaft.
what are some good cheap rod ends?

What do you mean would the stock steering lever be strong enough for lower links?

Watch out for the aluminum bellcranks ... make sure the ball is tight enough. I've seen some come too tight and some way loose.

I like Dubro links & I normally get them from my LHS or Towerhobbies.com. You can find a nice assortment of Dubro links that will work with different rod & ball sizes too IE, You can use 6-32 allthread as the rod and the ball will fit for 4-40, etc. You can also find K&S round tube to fit the 4-40 & 6-32 all thread. That's howe I made my links and new steering linkage.

If your dad won't let you do anything with a dremel, or do it for you, the RC4wd kit on just the rear isn't a bad idea for links. You will still need to put on a longer driveshaft and you will probably need to cut that down. But, you can do that with a hack saw no problem. I used Traxxas driveshafts & yokes ... part#s are 4951x & 4928x. You can save some money by reusing your stock Yoke but you'll need to drill it out. If pops won't let you near a dremel, I assume the drill is out of the question too though.

never mind what i said about steering rod.

the aluminum bellcrank i will use untill i get my servomount for christmas.
i am right now frying to see how long of lower links i need to stretch my wb. migh buy that kit though because it looks nice and has extension for upper link, but rc4wd is kinda spendy and im tryin to spend the least amount of money as posible.
