Did you make or buy the BTA setup?

dorji · 09-07-2008, 11:12 AM

hey, thats a nice parts list.

I like that steering link. Should make one very competitive crawler.

I bought it after a little sweet talking to have it made.

Do you think MTHEAD would be willing to make a few more for sale?

That would be up to him to say. I think if he does they will be sold in the vendors section.

Red Rockcrawler · 09-07-2008, 12:20 PM

Been a while since I had to put some shocks together. So I separated every thing out.

Got them assembled and filled with oil. I did have to read the instructions so I got them built right.

Harley0706 · 09-10-2008, 11:29 AM

Nice parts ist for sure.

I am running the 35t HHH in my berg on 11.1 and it is just insane. I was tearing it up in Moab this weekend with them.

Red Rockcrawler · 09-10-2008, 09:11 PM

Thanks Josh. You are part of this build. I may try a 4 cell for that extra punch too.

Red Rockcrawler · 09-13-2008, 05:54 PM

Well after I traded my black on black Dirty Harry's to Tanis. So he could have a new set to take to nationals. He ordered me a set to replace mine and ordered them with the orange rings.

The pics don't do the orange rings justice.

Loading the wheels with weights

I would do something stronger than 5/16 if your doing bent links, they fatigue really fast.

Red Rockcrawler · 09-13-2008, 06:07 PM

I may have to re think my lower links since they have yet to show up and I can't get a hold of Dan.

Your F-ing CRAZY! I turned the expo way up on my radio to gain more low speed control. I can spin them super slow still but my wheelspeed is still crazy fast!

My favorite pic from Nats:

Well I am a little crazy. You must have missed Tanis 4 cell berg there then. With 35t in it.

They look really bad ass in the sun light. Out of all the wheels I have had I love my Vanguish wheels. This is my 2nd set I have the Revolver wheels on my Hustler.

Red Rockcrawler · 09-15-2008, 03:18 PM

I went to the mailbox today and these were waiting for me.

Red Rockcrawler · 09-15-2008, 03:44 PM

So it didn't take me to long to start working on them. Put my Fubar Crawlers rear lock outs in. I order new strc knuckles for the front so as soon as they show up and I know they will work with the ota steering I will take the steering arms off of the knuckle's on the rear.

Red Rockcrawler · 09-15-2008, 06:09 PM

Well I took apart the front axle to clock it and add the upper link relocation piece.

Counter sunk the back whole so I mount it to the relocation bracket.

The relocation bracket all mounted up.

I also mocked up the servo mount to check fitment.

With the servo in the mount.

scuzzy51 · 09-15-2008, 07:23 PM

you know those dont work right cory! you better just send them to me so i can dispose of the properly!

Red Rockcrawler · 09-15-2008, 08:52 PM

Nice try Dustin.

Red Rockcrawler · 09-15-2008, 10:37 PM

Well had to wait till the little one went to bed to go the garage to clock the axle tubes. Got out there to find my dremel puked smoke. So I got creative and used my bench grinder and some die grinder bits chucked up in my drill press.

Long side was the first.

Now for the short side.

Total amount clocked.
