Default Scx 10 integy aluminum links

So went down to my lhs and picked upa set of front and rear lower links and also the upper three links (pack comes with 2 three link ) so did the frontend no real isues with the instalation then started on the back and noticed that its a four link setup my question is do most guys switch to a three link setup in the rear ? Cant figure out why you get two upper three links in a package what s the better setup to run 3 or 4 link in the back i cant seem to find upper 4 link bars listed for this truck

I *THINK* a 4 link gives you less articulation compared to 3 link. I have an ax10 with 3 link in front and rear. But I notice a lot of comp style trucks have a 4 link setup. On my ax10 I get almost 80 degrees. I think a 4 link would tame that so that you wouldn't drop a tire way down, but keep it up in the air to skip past a hole..... I think I'm right...

Thanks for the help i made custom upper link bars and due to the -30 deg weather outside haven't been able to realy push the truck but have all the parts to just switch over to a three link setup if needed

You always want 4 link rcguy. Works better,period. The only time we run 3 link, is when your using a chassis mounted steering (cms) setup. This removes one upper link in favor of a panhard bar for scale looks.

Thanks just got a set of integy 115mm upper links for my rear end but think i may change it to 120 mm to change pinion angles on the driveshaft the 115 work well but think the 120 would give a better scale look
