|  Easy BTA
I know it's just another BTA. I was looking at all the write ups about them and none really fit for what i was thinking. so here is what i came up with, with some part i had laying around. the one thing i had to make was the axle plate, but i had to make one any ways for my battery mount. What i thought was sweet was the steering linkage were just a shock Revo tie rod and push rod. All i had to do was put some bends in them. now this is just set up there are a few thing i am going to butten up. oh and i have the autoCAD for the axle plate. if any one's intrested. let me know what you think. good, bad, or just indeferent.      |

I think it looks great, and I really like that battery/servo plate. Do you have your templates uploaded onto a website? I am interested to see and use them.  |

looks good, i have been playing around with a BTA set up, but its a PITA finding enough room. I would also be interested in seeing the templates, i have a website i could upload them too, if you would like. or you can just post pictures of the templates, and make sure they have a scale on them

not a thing. you just have to use the inner hole and have your shocks at or less then 45 degrees (depending on your pinon angle). it's super simple and cheap. i do have the mounts on the axle cut down about a 1/4". but you don't have to cut them down. i did it to get it lower.

I just finished mocking up (on stock Ax-10 RTR) the one that is not shown in my pics. i will see for the client would like his truck used for display. It will fit most any set up and has the servo mounted in the center for the axle for people that want the run there sub c on each side. the only thing that wont fit is three link. i am still working on getting PDF load up.

nothing rubs, but your shocks have to be at about a 45deg.
