bta will be advantage to you because it will help with your approach to an obstacle to where those links are not going to be in the way....

[JuziTin]

yeah, those rocks will hang up on the links, but if there is nothing to hang up on, then it can't hang up! and also, i absolutely HATE the stock body. anyone else agree. hmmmm............. i should make a thread for a poll.....

[icemancrawler]

the stock bod is crap i never have it on anymore

[icemancrawler]

Ok I did some searching and I cant find a torsion suspension for the venom does anyone know if they make one or how to make one on the cheap?

A BTA kit should be coming very soon from RMDW..it will be very similar to the one I made for my VC..it wont require a new link set up either...Im workin with a new machinist and we are looking at several pieces for the VC and other rigs.

Got a ballpark price range on that?

[rmdesignworks]

It should be around $30 which will include the front axle battery/servo plate, the drag link, possible servo mounts and hardware. Final cost will be determined by cost of materials of course. I am also planning a full bta and anti TT kit which will have the rear plate and posts for realigning the rear upper links.

Im in final stages of design now, going to the machinist soon and then a bit of testing, then the kits will be available.

[icemancrawler]

thanks could you pm me when you start selling those?

[rmdesignworks]

if I forget too Im sure youll see it here in the VC threads

[rockhopperz]

dude you put the Links on upsidedown LOLand its waaaaay to tall!! they really need the battery tray removed and a lipo on the axle!! just throw short links in like the CKRC stage 2 kit...works much better!!

heres mine..maybe some tips!! im a newbie on here but a lot of time went into making this creeper work BETTER than any Axial!!
