Just a little test fitting. Still need to extend the wheelbase from 300mm to 313mm. I can do it with the spacers provided in the kit, but I'm going to wait for my Boom Racing links to arrive.

\n

I just extended my wheelbase to 310mm using the 5mm plastic spacers included in the kit. I added 5mm to each end of the rear upper and lower links.

\n

So... the stock 300mm wheelbase uses:

\n

upper links - 76mm link tubes\nlower links - 60.5mm link tubes

\n

Kit comes with 5mm spacers.

\n

So MST makes the following 267mm link kit. A little pricey, but if you use this, and add the 5mm spacers on each end to the rear links.. you'll end up at 277mm. Close to what you want.

Extended my wheelbase out to 310mm by using the included plastic 5mm spacers from the kit.

Also made a ghetto lexan tray to mount my esc. Eh whatever, it's sturdy and puts the esc where I want it.
