SCX24 link lengths

[D00D]

Just upgraded my SCX24 Gladiator with new MEUS axles and Injora high-clearance links. Is it ok for my servo and axle to tilt forward like this? If not, how do I fix?No room for adjustments in any of the parts I have.

I used the Injora threaded links and Meus axles, and mine sits the same way. My plan is to put some thin spacers on the bottom links and trim the rod ends a smidge on the upper links. You obviously can't do that with those links. I'm not sure if it's the axles that are off, or if it's the Injora links, but the two obviously don't play well together.

Well, it depends as it if it bothers you. From a technical aspect, that is absolutely terrible for the transmission and driveshafts. It's the worst setup possible. That said, it's a mico crawler, so you may never even see the issue nor damage the parts due to the low running speed and minimal weight of the crawler. I don't think you're gonna get driveshaft vibrations, but you have the perfect setup for such an issue.

Also, your knuckles are also tipped down towards the front, almost as equally as terrible in terms of performance.

Keep in mind that none of this is your fault; the design and quality of these small crawlers and their parts is horrendous.

I dumped $700 into my 1/24 carbon chassis portal crawler, and at the end I had only a single thought; what an absolute pile of garbage. Traded it for lunch and never looked back.

I've already found the limitations of these little trucks. Its been a perfect indoor activity for us this summer (FL).
