Front & rear Meus portal axles were cheap & have arrived..... have the front semi mounted for test measure.... going to centre diff from off-centre up front.
Drive shaft & lower links work & as expected changing to 4 from 3 link with pan-hard bar, requires a little custom work..... single upper link mounted off-centre, but that & a new 4th one will mount on diff, requiring to new ones 5mm longer than the original.
Was gonna source everything & make a couple of links, but found a whole set from another model cheaper & easier.
Will be better with 4 links, with no need for the pan-hard & able to mount the steering servo on axle, instead of chassis..... better direct steering power & 0 bump steer, not that the latter was a problem. Basically front suspension will cycle straight up & down, rather than through an arc.
Fitting the rear will-would be easy, with just the link ball-ends needing changing over.
