Thanks dave those look great, I see how they connect to the servos now with that little bar. Do you think whats on my servos now hanging down will work, just turned around and mounted that way? I need 6 of those rod ends 3 left 3 right correct?
Thanks again

Get 10 rod ends, 5 of each :? You'll need then for the rear end when you get there :roll: . You'll have to put the front end together and see if it works.

Ok, I'll get 10 of them. Guess I'll get the front end together and mock everything up then tear it all apart and refinish it. I can start on the body anytime not sure what Im going to do with it yet.

Thanks vwguru75!
This stuff is just so much fun to make :D . Here’s the linkage with the custom center link, uprights and spindles.

I need a set of Skellenger knock off hubs for it now.

The stuff does look awesome, I stopped at a few hardware stores today and got measurements for bolts I need, going to try and just make one order from that MC Master site and have just about everything to put it together ( im sure it wont go that way ). I also purchased a material to look like functioning scale limit straps but im not saying what it is till I mock one up and snap a pic of it lol I pricked myself trying to get these wire ones off.
Cryo-Tec Im home now let me know what you need pics of, and thanks for saving my lipo with your charging tip :P

Will these work for the steering?
Ebay item number 390274434303 and the right hand variant 370505013428.

Does anyone know what size the rear suspension arms rod ends are they look much larger but I havent pulled them out yet?
Thanks,
Ted

I want to thank dave for making me these, I havent got around to getting all this hooked up to the servos I either need futaba horns or just going to buy some hitech servos for it. I tend to get away from rc in the summer months, going to try and get it going here soon. Thanks again.
