I bought the 8245 (121mm) suspension links and they were 1mm shorter then the middle links which are 122mm. The 8245 link kit will not move the middle axle forward 10mm because this kit is only 1mm shorter. I spent the money because of this video and now I bought parts that were basically the same as what’s already installed.

The part you want is 8248 (109mm). I’m sorry about that. There was an error on traxxas site when I made this showing incorrect part number.

@@rcdad416Well I hope whoever watches this video reads this comment, it’s pretty important so that people aren’t wasting around $20 buying the wrong part? I also hope the other parts you listed work because I can’t try them until I get the new set of links here. This turned into a bad situation.

Very good video, excellent infact. I will look at this for my hauler! You win a subscription from me 😊

Appreciate that!!

[@carlbModels]

​@@rcdad416hi, the hauler has different parts to the Merc!!!! argh, couldn't move the middle axle forward, but I have moved the rear axle back 20mm. Now running 135mm tyres - you can see the results on my channel if you have a moment. I adjusted the suspension to the max, so it has more travel than standard! thanks for the inspiration 👍🍺🇬🇧

Great video. I am often thinking about getting a TRX6, and fit 2.2 wheels, too. I’d definitely use a steering axle in the rear, that only steers a bit to compensate. One could even think about going 8x8 with this setup, with two steering axles in the back. Are your shock mounts and the bed self made?

Towers are from Amazon. The bed I made from a piece of carbon Fiber.
