Adjustable Chassis Set Ups

Offers a unique build experience and the ability to switch between drive configurations (Front/Mid-Rear) and wheelbase lengths for customised performance.

High Spec Suspension Design

Double wishbone design on all four wheels with friction dampers provides a solid foundation, with upgrade potential to TRF Special Dampers available.

Geared Differentials

Plastic 4-bevel differential gear ensures smooth power delivery and is compatible with performance-enhancing hop-ups like ball differentials.

Three Point Steering System

The BT-01 features a unique three-section steering system that delivers exceptional responsiveness and control. The servo is strategically positioned at the rear right, connected to the steering linkage via a long link rod for optimal efficiency. 

Easy Maintenance

Unitised sections (motor mount, suspension) streamline assembly and make adjustments or repairs quick and straightforward.

Easy Motor Access

Maintenance is made easy thanks to the BT-01's unitised motor mount. Secured with just two screws, it allows for quick and easy access to the motor for adjustments or upgrades. 

Adjustable Mid Mount Motor

The BT-01's adjustable midship motor layout enhances balance and handling. Positioned on the rear left, the motor delivers power smoothly to the rear wheels through a reliable propeller shaft but can also be moved to the front right for a higher level of weight bias customisability. 

Easy Battery Tray Access

The BT-01 allows for quick and easy battery swaps with the convenient flip-up holder. Simply flip the holder open to access the battery compartment, making battery changes as quick and easy as possible.
