Radio is programmed, I have to adjust endpoint travel to keep the servo arm from moving when the servo travels.

I just bought a front axel complete with Axial universals. So I will have to flip it around, pull the locker and flip it to give the O.P.A.T. 4WS

Took a break from trying to program the radio. I did some body work. Excuse my lack of scale



Then I attacked the hood lines to open the hood.



No more removing the whole body just to change a battery. I can sympathise with Poison Spider owners!

Now that the FSFT-3C ois hacked and programed for $WS, I Bought a complete front axel with Axial Universals. I rebuilt it into a rear axel with rear steer.



Yes I know I have to use the rear axel truss and DMG rear skid plate off the rig but it is ready to be mounted on the rig.

I am waiting on a servo, arm, and links.

I couldn't find a working servo to test it so. I unpluged the 1.9 steering servo and pluged it into a couple of y harneses and finally into the RX of the O.P.A.T.

My 4WS WORKS!

I am uploading video to YouTube as I type this. I will post video ASAP.

Well I went crazy today. Bought another servo, steering link set, and even won a mamba maxx pro.

The idea is for the mamba to power the DIG servo and the ESC. While the two steering servo's will be powered by the BEC.

My Mamba Max Pro came in a day early. Unfortunately the sensored brushless motor I wanted is back ordered. I want to rig up an adapter harness to connect up a brushed motor as the MMP can do Brushed or Brushless.

I am thinking of using a Y harness in reverse. Connect the BEC output directly to the Y harness And then remove the signal wire (brown / white).

Then I will solder these to the red and black wires on the servo harnesses. Thus only the Servo Signal wire will connect to the RX

I am starting to think more and more about getting a second MMP to power this rig and put this MMP into the 1.9 Weekend Warrior Wraith!
