|  battery plate/BTA steering and light setup
Well decided to go lipo so i built myself a battery plate. While i was at it, isnt really more work to go BTA also. I was lucky as the stock steering link worked with just a little extension (had major toe-out) Only reason why the stock link doesnt hit shocks is because when i made my lower links, i made the front ones (a little too short  ), it rotated the front axle and i got the necessary clearance. Had to clearance the diff case a little but works great  . Used the stock knuckles too, have to mod them, explained here :http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...oducts_id=1186 After the batt plate, i was able to redo my front lights and make a clean finished look for the front axle. Battery plate mod before BTA :   after BTA and redone lights :     a few pics with the stock steering link:     Last edited by freakos; 10-27-2008 at 12:06 PM. |

i got a bunch of led's off ebay for cheap. got some 3mm, 5mm and some 10mm, i made the holders with some thin metal strips that i punched two little holes into and help the led's hold with some flexible plastic glue. Made a distribution box with resistors and powered by an 9volt battery. I'm very pleased with the runtime and lighting !! few more pics:   had some fun with exposure time,  |
