So it probably is a tolerance stack-up issue then or a part out of spec.
The overall of the link from tip to tip without rod ends?

Jato Tries to Salvage a Methed-Out Shitbox H10 Optic

Yes. Thats how they sell their links too.
That makes sense, but they should also include a dimension for the finished, assembled link. They just provide true-to-scale drawings for that. I prefer dimensions.
Yes, it uses the same programming card as the one that comes with the 1080 or what HobbyWing calls the "LED Program Card", BUT the buttons are different. The Fusion Pro comes with a sticker to put over the existing labels on this LED programmer.
The "Multifunction LCD Program Box PRO (G3)", pictured above in this thread, does not work with the Fusion Pro from what I understand.
I got a little more wrenching on the cage done last night. Still waiting for my servo to ship.
Bag G is the cage. Missing from the photo are the two main side pieces.
I couldn't find the parts that hold the side panels/battery door tab into place. Thanks to @B-MOW71 I looked inside the battery tray, where his were hiding, and mine stayed in there for the entire ride from Asia as well. Crazy!
I ran into a little snag with the rear piece. It's warped like a pretzel. I'm guessing somebody took it out of the mold before it was fully cured. I sent an email with photo to Vanquish last night for a replacement.
I have to say this is a good looking cage. The chassis is solid once screwed together. I don't like the coarse threaded screws, but I didn't bother replacing with fine threads. Did any of you? Vanquish swears they did this as coarse threads have proven to pull out less or something like that. I'm honestly not buying that fine threads would cause any problems.
And now we wait for parts and more time to wrench.

The teal panels look awesome, I don't know why Vanquish insists on covering so much of that great color with stickers.
Man, that teal color is sexy as hell ( Love the Hamburger Helper/ Pinky-Stinky mascot too).
Most people will never have an issue with fine threads for a cage but once you start to install/ remove hardware over and over again ( along with some pulling/ twisting of that cage over time), having fine threads in that plastic would become more prone to stripping. I think they did it right.

I always try to put screws back in the threads that have been cut into the plastic during the first install. Never had a problem. I remember back in the OG Axial days, everybody was switching out the coarse cage hardware to fine threads. How times change...
Vanquish responded to my email and said they put in the order to ship me a replacement for the defective rear cage piece. 
The VFD cap with the faux gear shifters is optional. Seriously, Vanquish? In order to get this part, you have to buy the VPS10131 parts tree the includes useless items such as the plastic motor plate, plastic standoffs, plastic spur gear hub, and bearing retainers for this transmission. Come on Vanquish.
Believe it or not, the RTR Optic comes WITH the optional gear cover, and the little plastic shifter balls...
They are in the little bag with the batteries for the transmitter. Also has the plain shifter cover.

I made sure to use fine thread bolts anywhere I felt future disassembly would be required. The course thread bolts don't give me warm puzzles. I was surprised Vanquish specd them for upper shock mounting!
But I also used longer bolts with nuts on much of the suspension and steering hardware.
Actually, now that I look at it I have quite the pile of hardware left over...

I usually replace all of the course thread screws with fine threaded screws. I didn’t on my stock Optic cage yet, but will replace all of the screws eventually. I think the fine thread do a better job.
Glad to hear VP is taking care of your crippled rear end!
