front and rear steer?

[dostacos]

has anyone set this up with rear steer and front steer? is it worth the effort?

I have 4ws on the same channel. So all four are turning at once on one of my AX-10s. It's fun to mess around with. It's my goof off truck and the one I lend to buddies.

I did my 4ws on my crawler and love it, it make your rig that much more maneuverable especially if you don't have super torque servos. of course I have yet to install a proper dig setup.

Only reason I dont put 4ws on mine is because I plan to compete with it and there isnt a class that allows it unless you build a super. I would love to see a 2.2 class that allows 4ws possibly an "outlaw" or "renegade" class

I think I will go 4 wheel steering for giggles, as I don't compete that will not be a problem

It's definitely a fun setup. I run a HH TM Sport on 3s with 4ws. Fun to tear around with.

I was workin g on mine today doing mods and fixing some issues and almost put in a servo y splitter and installed the rear steering. But I ran short on time today. I figure that I could just make a lock out link and disconnect the rear servo during comps. Maybe later in the week I will since I already have the parts.

Just sold my 4ws Mantis with Dig and it was a blast..Kicking myself for selling it but i want to buy something else and unfortunetly i cant afford to keep it all..

Once again The Rig was a blast and highly recommend..I'll be doing another in future

yes its that much more fun. If you have a 3rd channel hook your rear steer servo to that and u can control each servo separately

I have rear steer on mine. I don't comp, I just bash here on the farm. I wouldn't want to drive it without rear steer. I use the old factory Traxxas Tmaxx AM 3channel rx and tx. I put a return to center switch in place of the reverse/foward rocker switch. I used an extra Tmaxx ti tie-rod and rod ends. The only thing I had to buy was a high torque servo and aluminum arm. Ive had this setup for several years and no issues. I am in the shakedown phase of a new Edge chassis and I've got factory kit aluminum parts coming. Figure I may as well tidy it up while I'm at it. If I can figure out how to post pics, I will be happy to try to post.
