Well done. I just went through this a few times with mine and my son's trucks. I wish I had seen this first and had taken this approach. I would use a thread locker like loctite instead of glue. The aftermarket links that I bought are pretty loose and sloppy on the ball ends. Any suggestions for that?
As of now my 2speed gearbox is fix into low gear, I did not install the micro servo or tje gear changer. Now I am going to assemble c34 with res v3 and 2speed gearbox. Maybe I will bend the link rods or put it outside the metal chassis. Will update you if its done.
@@morrisrc I tried bending my hex ones and ended up with more link rods than I started with :(. Hoping that the plain ones like yours will be easier to bend. You can probably just about get away with mounting both the long and short rods off the single lowest mount hole if you've got a long enough bolt + nut for the rear ones. They'll just about clear the gear change assy. assuming you've trimmed off the excess from the shaft at the back. The axle's angle will then vary as the suspension travels but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Seems to flex as normal.
What links do you recommend, plastic one like the one you did use in the complete video or metal one? I have a c14 and looking for upgrade the stock links
I followed the lengths that you suggested but the metal driveshaft is too tight between the axles and motor. Any suggestions on the adjustments to the link lengths?
Thanks for the video. You clarified a couple of things I needed to know. Unfortunately for me, I just got the shock set, but kept the plastic rods and trusses(?)... the steering didnt like it lol. The bottom part of the shocks are too far out and block the steering knuckles :(
Welcome sir. I think those metal(aluminum) shocks that looks like the stock is best to use to keep the dimensions the same as stock setup. To avoid the shocks from hitting the knuckles or tires when steering.
The issue in my case was that the original shocks have something like a cup at the bottom, but these ones dont. Well... I guess I will have to get the other parts
@@opunbuds I havent done anything yet. The stock rods dont seem to be the issue though. The problem is the part of the truss where the rod and the bottom part of the shock meet. The bottom of the stock shock is a cup and covers that part, so there is no change in size. The upgrade shock has something like a spacer and sits on top of that part, making it way wider. I would have to either purchase all of the other upgrades or cut that part off the stock truss... y'know what... F it... gonna check the length of the screws and cut it lol
This type of video is what every rc hobbyists need
Thank you, bro
Thank you so much! I was getting tired of people half showing you, then PRESTO theirs is done with very little explanation. Youre the best!
Thanks bro
Thank you for this two years later!!!
Welcome bro, thank you also
Very nice sir, you did a detailed & simple video for RC beginners.
Thank you sir
Nice review 👍

Are those doesn't have nuts on both ends?
Hi how do you assemble these link rods with the 2 speed motor? Do the link rods get in the way of the gear change servo?

Yes, like in the video. The other type in the market is more heavier.
informative video, bro! your videos really are helpful to a lot of people. keep it up and stay safe, bro! 👍🏻🍻😎
Thank you bro stay safe also...
nice. thank you for sharing this.
Thank you also, bro

Can you put metal links and shocks on stock plastic axels?
Yea bro
@@morrisrc thanks for the reply and sharing your knowledge with us 🙏
Welcome bro. By the way, did you mean the axle or the plastic axle truss or pull rod base seat. If the axle truss you just need a little mod.

@sgecko7 Hi there, did you solve the issue ? i mean can we replace the shock and keep the plastic rod.

I like vidieos👌
Thanks bro
Nice video !, any tips for extending wheelbase ?
Aftermarket link rods are short, maybe find a longer one or use a shock extender for link rods mount.
Nice video bro 💪
Salamat, bro
Hey I followed this but for some reason when I turn one way it rubs and won’t let it turn all the way. Is there something I could do?
The thread of both end are in diffetent direction.
Is the front shorter then the back mine looks a bit smaller
Thanks! Building mine metal right now. 200 likes!
Thanks you also, bro. Good luck to your build.
Nice!!! Very helpful.
Thabk you, bro
Great vid on this!
Thank you sir Farley
Whats the size of the link rod bolts?
3mm bro
Is the link rod adjustable?
@abdullahamin3841 yes bro its adjustable
What is the normal wheel base for c-series?
Bro, for the C14, C24 and C54 it's 190mm. C34 205mm and C44 215mm.
@@morrisrc in inches?
C14, 24 and 54 = 7.5", C34 = 8" and C44 = 8.5"
@@morrisrc some says it’s 7.2-7.4 inches
Yeah 7.48" I just round it off to 7.5" hehehehe!
Pwede ba sa stock axle to ng wpl C24 sir? May naorder kasi akong adjustable eh kaso nung kinabit ko nagkakaissue sa alignment.
Yes bro pwede stock axle basta ung axle truss ay metal.
What shocks are you using?... The link in description doesn't work for me. Asks me to login to shopee.

Yes its shopee philippines. Try your ecommerce in your place that shocks now is common.
@@morrisrc thanks, but I'm in the US, and it's saying I don't have access to this site. Great vid overall.
may link ka sir ng metal bracket na nagcoconect ng toe link at suspension sa differential? wala kasi akong mahanap sa shopee.
Bro, message moko sa messenger Morris Horfilla.
@@morrisrc ok na pala sir nahanap ko sa isang sa link mo sa sunnystore na shop, salamat
The tires rub on the links
nice
The four link same size
Yes sir, the 4 short links are the same length and also the 4 long links are the same in length.
@@morrisrc entiendo 4 cortos de un mismo tamaño y 4 largos . Gracias.
Too good thank you.
Thanks bro
