WSM G2G planning/ chit- chat

Finally got around to ordering some new shocks for the crawler. Once I get them and get the ride height set I am going to need new links since I want to stretch the wheelbase a bit. Question I have is do you guys build your own links or buy pre-made ones? If you make your own where can I get material locally to build them?

i normally i buy a bag of revo rod ends and the appropriate threaded rod at any home improvement store. you can reinforce the links by putting some sort of tubing over the threaded rod. i use 1/2" fuel line. there are better options but i haven't found anything better yet.

Your LHS should carry a few different rod ends.

Smaller, squarish ones work with M3 or 4-40 rod.

Revo rod ends usually work with (6-32?) 8-32 and larger.

Duratrax or associated makes nice rod ends too, that usually work with 6-32 or 8-32.

A quick rod cover is a Bic Pen sleeve. But steel is nicer.

g6 jk or Deadbolt?

there. fixed it for you

 

[nd4spd71]

Got the new shocks installed and new links made to stretch the wheelbase out. Matches the body much better now.

Looks a lot better now. Do you want me to bring in my driveshaft pieces on monday?

Does it rub the body under flex or flex and turn?

Might have to do just a bit of trimming on the front edge of the front wheel wells. Have to wait and see if it is an issue.

Thanks for the kind words.
