looks like it is a part of the steering setup:

well spotted, thanks

odd they include that but not the steering links!

I had a terrible tough time with my order from Asiatees, 4 out of 6 topcad parts are not fitting correctly. They don't really reply me anymore as soon as I told them I want to send the items back for refund, I was upfront and told them the parts are all in new condition. I know their parts are cheap but don't waste your money like me.

I have been lucky then, I have had a few parts from them so far and all OK. Although not as good as something like VP items they are better than stock and well priced including shipping to the UK.
To get VP parts would be out of my means at the mo as they are quite expensive and by the time shipping and the import tax that I always get charged on US parcels gets added the price almost doubles!

WOW that looks like a terrible idea!

[chrisring]

yes!
got a set now as its a cheap way of getting the other parts but will be using a set of CC steering links

from what I have read I'm sure I will soon change back to front only steering

I wouldn't be too sure, rear steer is a riot. I loved it. Only changed back because it was a little much to control with the Pro4 in there.

I'm going to give it a good go

have geared down and running
32dp 56t 12t
with a Ansmann Racing Roxx Crawler Motor - 55T

for low speed crawling so 4ws should add to fun

I'm curious about this setup, too. I have actually had really good luck with Asiatees stuff on my Wraith.

I find thier stiff OK, time will tell on how long it lasts.

The rear steer kit seems good value to get started and as it comes with a Y connector so will give me a chance to see if I like it before I upgrade my radio so that I can mix the steering with more options.

If I dont like the 4WS then I will go back to front only, but as I have geared down I believe it should be OK

Was that due to too much slop inherent in the rear steer setup? Or was it using it at speed was a handful? Getting ready to do the full CVD/chubs/steering arms/servo plate/steering linkage on the rear of mine.

Even picked up an MT4 to replace my DX3R Pro for the much cooler 4ws and MOA mixing, and 4th channel for the winch. Digging the easily selectable front steer/rear steer/reversed/crab settings on it. Will do analog control of the aux channel too with the lever, though I don't think I'm that coordinated. Pretty stoked.
