cool
you can use shorter lower links if you use some sort of link brackets like level3rc on ebay or integy. The link brackets help strengthen the C-hub section of the clod axle.

Will-the brackets that use a spacer actually put more stress per tube than just bolting the link in. i had two tubes snap because i used mount brackets. that is why i went to the shock mounted onto a brace and used the inner axle stiffeners.

OP, im getting the measurements in two min, i just stepped in the door from a stupid long day at work....hockey is also on tv so it may take a min.

ok length of the 16" links is 6.75" on all 4 links.

also, what is everyone going to use as a body? im stumped on what is going to fit....

any ideas?

My proline chevy body fit fine too and HPI bodies should work too..

Kevin do you have a stance pic? I'd like to see how she sits with that length of link. Thanks.

^ i willl grab a few tonight for you, i think it sits perfect. its not 100% low slung as most monster trucks arent.

im going to snap a few photos with different kinds of tires. i have stock clod, b&h, original rumble and new rumbles to put on it.
the original rumbles and aluminum beadlocks are the choice for me though, love the look.

 

[Manfjourde]

Good good, I'd like to see the different tires too!

 

[kevinatfms]

sokey-if you check out my thread in the readers rides section, those pics are from a while ago but the last few pics the links didnt change....

im still going to get pics tonight though, right after i get back from the melting pot with the woman...

 

[kevinatfms]

im swapping out my tmaxx shocks for some tower hobbies ST15's so it will sit a little lower....

 

[brianpage]

Looking really Good!!!!

definatly will look even better lowered..you could also maybe mount the shock mount under the braces?

 

[kevinatfms]

brian the shock mount i dont think would work underneath it? i think just a shorter shock that is a little softer would work better.

 

[Manfjourde]

Thanks for the pics Kev, that link set works nicely, I may have to grab me one.
