i am swapping to BTA front steering and keep running to issues with the lower link. i got it ground up so it was perfect between the knuckles, but positioning the servo is the hard part. when i position it the rod to connect servo to knuckle hits the lower link when the susp atriculates. jsut wondering how others did it(other than buy a kit)

Mine hits the link too. I've done what I can to minimize it by playing with the length of the link and the clocking of the horn on the servo. It doesn't seem hurt performance, so i just live with the little scratches on the link. I use the TTR Aggressor steerin, and the servo arm is also REALLY close to the motor, but it hasn't caused a problem either.

well it hits when sitting, and it will prevent steering when the susp articulates.

Does "behind the axles" limit artic?

Dez knows his shizniggle! That works really well on my homebrew stick.

yep dez is on it!
i got it to work perfect by making a longer tie rod and putting a 45 deg bend in it. now it hugs the link on full art with full steering
