Default steering

i have been drawing out the plans on my emaxx crawler.just got about everything figured out but the steering..how are most of ya doing that with 4 linked fronts? i was just gonna try to use the stock servo for right now and attach it to one of the braces i will have for the front end.i am just trying to figure out where/what piece i need to put onto the servo where i can connect the tierods like in this pic


i will be building my axles something like Jay's but just cant figure out what piece to connect the steering to..is it custom or a clod part? thanks for the help..

also,do they make a 4ws kit? or do i just have to go out and buy everything seperate,if so, what all parts do i actually need and will it work with the radio i have(stock TQ3)..it says it has 3channels can i wire it in to when the front wheels turn, the rear ones do also or is it better to have seperate? sorry for all the stupid questions, but thanks for the help,greatly appreciate it

Are you talking about the servo saver? I use Kimbrough 124s...what that is in the pic.

Front and rear Maxx axles are same and both ends have steering knuckles. They just hard mount the rear knuckles with tie rods. Add another mount, servo and rods to make rear steer.

Can run 4WS using a servo y-connector or servo reverser cable to accomodate two servos.

Thanks Jay, just seems like every servo saver i look at one has one hole for the steering unlike yours having 2..maybe i should just look a little harder i guess
