| 4 wheel steer with 2 channel radio?
I am trying to get 4 wheel steer on my axial. I have the kit so my so my axels are the same front and back. My problem is the servos. How do I get the rear one to turn the opposite direction? Is there just some wires that I can swap around? Both servos are the same brand. THANKS |

you have 2 options. 1) this is the easy way. get a servo reversing y harness. 2) open the servo up and swap the wires on the motor and the outside wires on the potentiometer. that will make the servo work in reverse. |

You could also run a Futaba servo on one end and a Hitec on the other. Most cases I found the 2 brands turn opposite each other. Another option if you have the room, or a way to mount it, is to turn the servo horn 180* so it pulls opposite. |

Thanks for the replys. I am gona turn the servo horn upside down to see how I like the 4ws. And if I do then I will have to do something else.

I used a reversing harness on the Maxx crawler I used to have. Rear steer rocks! Monster GT tires are pretty sweet to |

Get a servo reverser, they are like $8 at your LHS or cheaper online. With the harness you can control how much throw the rear servo has. It's really the only way you will have any endpoints with a 2ch |

Not to expensive think I picked it for $40 about 9 years ago. Super easy to install just about five min setup time.
