Ylink/3link or 4link

[Qcustomz]

I'm not sure if topic hasn't been brought up before. I tried googling. And no luck
I'm lost as to witch suspension set up is best
A stock Y link. A 4 link or a 3link/pan hard bar

I wanted to relocate my servo like the CMS kits
I'm lost. Lol

I run 4 link front and rear with no issues. A lot of people like the 4 link rear 3 link with pan hard in front. Good luck!!!

If ur running cms then a 3 link with a panhard
Is the best way to eliminate bump steer and get the most from ur servo.

This is the best setup for CMS, I did this on my Wraith using Vanquish parts.

On my SCX-10, the stock "Y" link in the front wore out quickly at the diff end, so I used the parts that were leftover and converted it to 4-link.

I got the dingo kit. Instruction said use ylink so i did. But then switched out to 4link since inhad part left over but axle has a crazy angle

I found out today that the 3-link or Y-link allows quite a bit of torque or axle twist. I was constantly on three wheels going up a obstacle. The other SCX-10 was setup the same as mine (except motor and ESC) and stayed planted. I am going to 4-link the rear ASAP as I was always rolling over on steep climbs. It would actually push the rear out and make me miss the line I wanted. This is on smooth rock and steep ledges.

Try mirroring your trans it will help with the torque twist quite a bit. You are on the right track though, i personally wouldnt run the stock Y link at all, especially since its so easy to do a conventional 4 link setup on these trucks

I just recently converted from the y link front and rear to four link front and rear - climbing up steep inclines as well as running over bigger rocky terrain is vastly improved, almost like a different truck. Should have been the way I built it if I had known.

four link front and near you get more articulation and flex smoother

 

[Qcustomz]

Ok perfect. So i keep mine with four link. I just need to get metal links for top half

Cms and anything but a panhard bar will give you bump steer, if you don't care go 4 link.

Ok so from what I been reading. CMS. Will just be for looks. Give me more of scale look
Original servo placement and 4link will give me better performance
Correct??

The kit comes with the links you just have to go get the hardware to do it but I can say I run 4 link ls front and rear and I like it more than the 3 link."thumbsup"

don't have a kit...was piecing some axels and links together for a tuber build. After reading all this, I will definately use a 4 link set-up...thanks man "thumbsup"

For performance it's your best bet.

You can order the parts tree for cheap it comes with the 3 and 4 link parts
