Default sawback-r1-diy


Started out with a sawback 4ls, added R1 portal axles, and finished with my personal sauce.

The new shortcourse body works well with the increased width and wheelbase.

No more or no less than the stock sawback axles. But I don't compete. So backing up and turn twice is no biggy.

Likewise with my R1, I added 4ws so it turns.

I've been thinking about adding rearwheel steering. Did you buy the gmade kit for it, or just piece it together with spare or aftermarket parts?

I bought the kit, and aluminum. Matched servos are the trick.
