Default 4 wheel steering ?

Hello everyone this is my first post, I've had my wheely king for about 1 1/2 months now and i love it. I have already put the crawler conversion kit on,made a home made LED light set.

Any way i was just wondering if anyone has made it 4 wheel steer by adding a second set of stock steering linkages to the rear axle and mount the second servo about a 1/2 inch above the other one with a custom bracket ?

I've already made a plow that lifts and works very well, a set of tire chains for the rear, and a rear salt spreader is the next on the project bench.

I can e-mail pics if anyone wants to see the plow,chains,or lights.
I think the pics I have are to big too post, plus i dont know how yet and dial up is a no go.
my email is below


Thanks for reading
Dave

I haven't seen anybody try to put the servo in the chassis like you're describing. Have a go at it though.

Try to use Photo Bucket to host your pics, just upload a couple at a time to there site and it's not that bad w/dial-up. I did it that way for a while.

Good luck and post them pics. Chris

Finished the 4ws project and it works pretty good



the bracket for the extra servo wasn't very hard to make either and all the other linkages are stock style from integy or traxxas turnbuckles
