Lovely Links

-

The BOM’S GA44 axles are similar to the GOM’S, with their angled diff openings and attractive white-metal covers that hide metal ring and pinion gears. Nicely turned aluminum links locate the axles, with a doubletria­ngulated setup in the rear and a Panhard bar up front to accommodat­e the servo-on-chassis steering system. Gmade got the geometry right, so there’s very little “axle walk” at full shock compressio­n.
