rear steer radios

[flexmonger]

I know there a lot of ?s on rear steer radios but I have to ask any way, just to kill my curiosity. I am debating between the Crawler store tq3 for 65.00 with receiver and crystals or the Clod Mod Racing unlimited tq3 for 120.00 with receiver and crystals.
I want rear steer but would not use it on a full time basis, only when I deem it appropiate. I want to be able to steer each independently, one at a time or in unison. Ideally I would like to have the rear steer proportianal, like the front. I do no think any of these will do that though. Its either cranked to the right or the left or nuetral.
Do both models allow you to servo reverse and fine tune servo throw? Give me some of your opinions on both radios or what you think would work best for me.

No one has got opinions on any of these radios or runs them?

I like the stick radios myself. I use the futaba attack 4 channel. It will give you proportional rear steer and an extra channel for another esc if you are building a clod.

Those radios will not allow for proportional rear steer like the front. They have a toggle switch that, when activated, turns the rear wheels to one lock or the other. No in between.

For what you want I would suggest either the Airtronics M8 or M11 they have a pot on the third channel that can be used to steer the rear wheels just like the front.

But they are not cheap.

You really don't need proportional rear steering. It's easier to just flip the swicth and for get about it. Instead of trying to steer the front and rear proprtional at the same time. It would hurt more then it would help.

x2. Proportional rear steer sounds nice in theory, but it is not required. Independent rear steer is much more important. I have found that when you need rear steer, you generally need it cranked all the way anyway, so don't bother with proportional. It is really easy to mod a TQ3 for rear steer for the cost of a $2 switch - there's lots of info here on how to do it, and you should be able to pickup a TQ3 radio on eBay for $25.

These radios can be modded for prop rear steer if you want to do a little hacking.

Besides with servos that most people use, they would be pushed full tilt anyway trying to get the tires to turn

Just buy a TQ3. It just happen there are few in the For Sale Section for Sale. Already with a 4WS Kit and Crystals. Thats weird.

they are not cheap, but they are awesome! i've tried modded TQ3's, and since i bought an M8, i would never go back. infinite adjustability!
