Myself, I'm not a big fan of Axial's 4 link mount. It's plastic and I hate attaching anything to plastic. Just pick up an aftermaket servo plate for an Axial axle and it will have the holes in it to mount your upper links.
The stock servo plate is small and is only big enough for the servo itself and doesnt have the extra length to it with holes for your links.
Heres an example of what you need,

You see where the hardware is attached to the plate in the auction link?
Those two sets of 3 holes are attachment points where you attach your links when changing to a 4 link setup.

Yaaah
HobbyTown doesn't have my paint color, so left the film on just as a bit of a barrier against rocks and rolling over for the time being until I can get my paint. I may just break down and get a diff color...

I recently put two battey trays on my Honcho. One on the back of truck for my 7.4v lipo. The one the front for my havoc pro speedo. My intentions was to run a Losi shorty 3800mah lipo to run of the truck infront of my speedo. To keep the rollcage on. So instead i opted to strap 2 mini t nimhs infront of my speedo for more weight. Man does it make big difference. Will They stay there who knows.

Anyone interested in getting rid of their junk factory driveshafts? Mine fell OFF during my first battery run on a new truck, and I even predicted it with a post on RC Crawler before my new truck even arrived asking about a pin through conversion.
As you know the stock axles use a poorly engineered "Set Screw" design to attach the shafts to the trans, and I can't believe they let that design out the door! Well, this is easily remedied! Axial finally came to their senses (Only on the flagship "Wraith"), but the trans outputs and diff inputs are interchangable with the Wraith/SCX-10/AX-10! The Wraith driveshafts are stupidly expensive so I just use t-maxx drive shafts and drilled inside the yokes to remove the flat spots inside the yokes.
Everything works great now, and I don't have to spent 1/2 of my trail runs in 2wd now! Here are the parts you need (I added the gear dust cover, but obviously it is not needed for this conversion)
I later found that the spur gear was too big and swapped to a Traxxas white spur gear of 81 teeth, and changed the pinion to a 19T to get close to factory gearing. The gear cover if used, will also need modding to clear the larger Maxx shafts just as the spur gear did.
