Default Y harness for 4 wheel steering

I'm using a TQ3 and was wondering if I can ues a reverser Y harness so I can have 4 wheel steering. There is a Y for revers and one without and I just want to make sure I get the right one. Not sure that the revers will work that why I'm asking . Thanks

I used a Y-Harness with reverser when I first got into crawling, but then I modded a TQ3 for reverse. It should work, but since you are using a TQ3 already, just mod it for rear steer. If it is an older model of TQ3, check out my sig. I have a write up for how to mod the older style switch for free!!

I've used a Y harnes that has reversing in it and I've used the regular Y harness. You'll just have to flip pne of the servo arms when using the regular Y harness without the reversing deal.

Like stated above though,just do the TQ3 mod,get it done and get used to it. You'll do it eventually.

Depends on the servos you are using, some brands rotate the opposite way from others, when I did the yharness thing a couple years ago, I ended up with 2 servos that rotated opposite and used the nonreversing "y". If you have the same servos, then you can use the reversing "y" or flip your servo horn, like raptorman said. That being said, do the TQ3 mod and you will like it much better, it gives you the option of turning the rears either way.
