Default Turning Radius

Can any one measure the turning radius of their rig? Are there any 4WS guys out there? What does it turn? Thanks.

What?


What wheelbase? What tires? Tire size? Tire width? How about with what wheels, offset + or -?



This is a good one.

On my Scorpion I'm running Axial beadlocks with regular 2.2 Moabs with the foams cut down to about 4 inch diam so they roll under pretty good with a wheelbase of 12 inches. The steering is stock, no after market knuckles or axle shafts

I get about 6.5 foot diameter with just the front and if I remember right, it seemed under 3 foot with rear steer.

I pulled the rear steering off so I can't measure it at the moment. I'm thinking about putting it back on since I don't have any reason to keep it comp legal.

before my truck was comp legal i ran a punk steer and 4ws, it would turn 180' in les then three feet easily, closer to half that, it seemed like it was pivoting.

Its like a clod rear steer system I think. And that should be * I guess for degrees. If I remember right its a switching system like with the tq3 you flip the switch between, 4ws, front steering and I think if you have a 3 way switch, independant rear steering.

yes that is correct, one hundred and eighty degrees. the punk steer is a little computer that looks like an esc. you run it inline with your reciever and servos. it allows you to have front, four, or crab steer with any three channel remote. do a search and you will find it quick. mine worked great, but its not comp legal so i took it off. im just running a jrxs3 radio. hope that helps.
