MN82 4-Link Conversion – Better Crawling or Big Mistake?
I’m torn on this one. The 4-link definitely gives the MN82 better articulation, but I also think the leaf springs are part of what makes this truck unique. What would you run on your MN82 — leaf springs or 4-link? What's needed: 4 Link Suspension upgrade: https://amzn.to/3NzajNx M2 screw kit: https://amzn.to/3ObuRMb M2.5 https://amzn.to/47v8nw9 M2.5x30 https://amzn.to/4s5a9LM Wrench Set: https://amzn.to/4bGlCN1 Hex Drivers: https://amzn.to/482zkrc The 4-link conversion definitely gives the MN82 better articulation, but it also takes away some of what makes this truck unique: the leaf spring suspension. Along the way, I deal with link fitment, spacer clearance, driveshaft angle issues, and a custom 3D printed shock mount solution. So is the MN82 4-link upgrade worth it, or is it better to keep the leaf springs? Let’s find out.
