Default servo reverser

I decided to build 4ws for my ax10. Im running a constant 4ws since my punk rock crawler computer has 2 leads cut off by a previous owner and I dont have the serial adapter to program it. I know I need a servo reverser for the back axle. So my question is where to buy it from?
I know the turnigy one is cheap as heck but even for the price is it any good? I get real sceptical when something is so much cheaper than all the competitors. Im trying to do it the right way the first time.

You should be able to do this one of two ways.

-The best way is to use your radio. If you have a high end radio, they allow for mixing and you can customize response the way you want it.

-I believe you can swap pos/neg wires at the pot. Using a switch as you've said is a much better solution than this.

As far as turnigy stuff goes, I've always had good luck with their products. Might be worth a try if it's cheap

Thanks I did research on reversing servos and I dont quite have the steady hands I use to to reverse it internally and I dont have a radio with mixer capabilities. I just have a couple losi 2ch dsm and a 2.4 3ch system tha originally came with the associated sc10 I use to have. I will give the turnigy unit a try if it fails im just out a few bucks.

I use a EXR Tamiya Clodbuster 4WS Y-Harness Reverser EXRA325, had it forever but you can still get them. Has a manual trim pot for rear servo. Handy! Like 10 bucks on eBay.

You can get a reversing harness from Holmes Hobbies for cheap.

It sounds like you have things taken care of, but maybe check out these 4WS controllers I make. Maybe it will get you going with less hastle:

I like a lot! I think I will be ordering one of the 2 position ones from you when funds free up. I am just using the ax10 as a test mule right now untill the chassis for my class 3 tube buggy gets here and I want selectability in it.
