Timc20xe Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 these axles cause a lot of wrap , took mine out for first time today and it tore my 3rd link mount off the chassis, welds didn't fail it just tore a huge square of my chassis off lol , I'm going to really reinforce it all and try add a 4th link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going a bit overkill but hopefully it will be fit it right fit it once regards Stephen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 TONKA !! 😊 How are you managing the prop angles on that. I know the diffs will be above the the wheel centreline - but it still looks quite a significant lift on your set up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
