lol, i hate the stock linkage in the baja, it sucks ass. i need to get a yamadude one,

 

[DougStar]

sweet its on the list

I’ve got both the FullKill and Yamadude linkages. The Fullkill is way way better than all of them.

I reckon you could make your own one better than what you buy and cheaply as well.

This is the Fullkill.

That’s what I mean though it’s not hard to make yourself. The only special bit is double collar thing that links the 2 linkages. And that is just a piece of plastic with 2 holes drilled through it. The rest is just 2 rods one with a bend in it and some fittings you can get at any hobby shop, especially if they do heli stuff.

Take an hour at most to knock one up if you had the bits.
