That steering setup is awesome.

Does it limit your turning radius at all, or is there enough room between everything to turn pretty tight?

yer mate full lock both ways and gets more steering on the outer side tyres wen it turns because of how it is set up. i made the bta myself because i didnt want to buy one and there is so many people who have made their bta steering so i thought i would give it a go and it seems to be working like a dream
cheers, Kurt

Oh mine! That is saweet!

Mini's look always good on a crawler, too bad you don't see 'em much. My friend once had WK, with mini and 4WS, brings memories.

righto bit of a late update but at the last comp i won but it was one of the hardest comps i have driven in so far this year. in the end i snaped an axle and kept popping the front drive shaft but lucky for me they were all fixed easy and snaped the axle with 2 feet left of the last course but the truck handle very good for me so im happy now another up date, i have bta steering on the front of this truck but at the last comp showed me that the rear steer needs it to so im making a new steering and making bta for the rear as well. why you are ask?? well i drove into a tight spot at the last comp and i went to back out of it and couldnt because the rear steering arm wasnt letting it cause it was court ohh and i mounted the shell alot lower as well so thats another update. the mini shell is just something i sure in the local hobby shop and thought it would look alright on my truck so got it and love it thanks guys for the awesome comments. i will have updated pics soon as i can.
Cheers, Kurt
