Fix Your Aluminum Links (SCX24, or SCX30 or Whatever)

Aluminum links are one of the most common upgrades for mini crawlers, but sometimes they don’t work as smoothly as they should right out of the package. In this video, we go over how to fix, tune, and clean up your aluminum links so your suspension moves more freely and your crawler performs better on the rocks. Whether you’re working on an SCX24, SCX30, AX24, TRX4M, FCX24, Ascent 18, or just about any small-scale crawler, these simple tips can make a big difference. Binding, tight rod ends, poor link movement, and suspension drag can all hurt performance - but with a few basic adjustments, you can get your links moving the way they should. In This Video: • Common aluminum link issues • How to check for binding • Rod end and pivot movement tips • Suspension smoothness improvements • Why link setup matters for crawling performance If your crawler feels stiff, inconsistent, or just not as planted as it should, this is one of the first things worth checking. 👇 Drop a comment below: Have you ever installed upgraded links and had them bind or feel worse than stock? #MiniRC #SCX24 #SCX30 #RCCrawler #RCRockCrawler #RCOffroad #RCUpgrade Find all of our communities here: https://TheShopHobbies.com Join this awesome Mini RC Discord Chat:   / discord   Purchasing from these links may or may not help support the channel, depends on the link!
