Fully Linked Trailfinder 2!!

[Dready]

Yep you read the title right.
Fully linked Trailfinder 2


I ordered 2 of the Rear Kits from Rc4wd
4 Link Kit For Trail Finder 2 Rear Axle

The back went together perfectly as per the instructions included with these kits.

Front end needed some head scratching.
You cant run the 4 links so it had to be 3 link with Panhard.


Pics

Servo needed raising just a touch to clear under full compression

Wheelbase is spot on

Rear Wheel Tuck is on the Money as well

Either way this Kit shouldn't have fitted but with a small amount of head scratching its done the front end perfectly

nice!

Id suggest moving that panhard mount all the way out the frame rail or even mounted to the outside of the frame. that panhard rod is way too short, your gonna get alot of axle swing and it will lemit articulation because the heims will max out

 

[Dready]

I'll have alook and see what i can come up with.

It seems to articualte fine though. There is just a whisker of bump steer hardly noticeable.

i'm likin the blue monkey 3 link front kit which if it is not available yet will be very soon,sorry for the crappy pics these where just some quick ones i grabbed of the prototype set while he was at the shop i will try to get better ones "thumbsup"

I don't understand the white links. Are they available in another color or material, do you know? Thats a cool kit though.

 

[Postclanker]

:lmao: they could be blue :shock:
You could die them....he'll probably make some black ones maybe

panhard and draglink should at least be going in the same direction. ideally, they should be the same length and parallel too...

nice build "thumbsup" you are going to love the linked suspension. i went with proline shocks because the stock shocks were real droopy even with the heavier springs RC4WD claims are 50% tighter.

purely for pictures. 90% of the links we sell are black but as you can imagine white links let you see what's going on in pics much better than blk.

And at the same angle

i have some older panhard mounts laying around that we used to develop and test the first 3 link kits but i think they will work fine with your application.

if you decide to make your panhard bar longer and move it over to the other side just PM me your address and i'll send you one... no problem.

That's good service right there! "thumbsup"

BTW,

Will you be offering the front and rear link setup separately?

yes and i'll sell them however you guys want them including panhard only. i'm getting some black link pics for Die-Laughing ;-) and then i'll make a post in the vendors section with more details. i'm really not supposed to be selling parts in the TF2 forum or hijacking Dreadys thread... sorry about that.
