MRC Pro OTA/BTA Steering Options?

[alexchen86]

I just picked up a used MRC pro...upgrades on the way so far are MIP shafts.

I am assuming I will need aluminum knuckles and C's. I would like to have a BTA setup or at least an OTA. I've tried searching but can't seem to find any. The pro comes with CVD's up front right?

Btw previous owner had put a 645mg on there already with a CC BEC.

Anyone know where I can find a BTA or OTA bolt on for the MRC?

rcbro's has an ota steering that might work for you, check out his site

BWD has one as well.

neither will work with the pro link mount

Are you considering this to get the links away from the front of the axle?

Uh oh...lol I just ordered up Losi Aluminum C's, Losi Zero Ackerman Aluminum knuckles. Also ordered BWD's modded OTA tie rod.

Shouldn't this work?

I just looked at one of my new Pro's I bought and put on the shelf. It appears that the Pro servo mount has the upper links mounted underneath it instead of at the rear or on top like most do. With them underneath there is no room for the OTA steering rod. You can still use your OTA you bought, you will just have to replace the servo/link mount with another type (making your own is easy to do as well).

If I use RcBro's 4 link front servo plate would that work?

That's the one I had on my GC3, and it worked well with the RcBros OTA link. I see no reason why it wouldn't work with the BWD link as well.

Sweet....damn wish I put it all in one order! Okay just put in an order for the new front 4 link plate. I should be able to mount the upper links on top to clear the BWD OTA link!

little late for this, but you can make your own OTA Steering for about $5. Thats the link, rod ends, screw and nuts.
