Exclamation steering options 4ws????

ok so i wanna get rear steer but only use the one servo for both front and rear. i was thinking maybe a link to the other link? pics would be great also! thanks

edit; to try and get more grip, could i take the foams outta the tires so the tires will conform to the rock?

edit again; so if i buy these will this just lock one diff or both front and rear?

Rear steer off one servo is kinda scary. It would have to be a very powerful servo and you would probably want to run a BEC. Interesting idea though, don't let me discourage you from trying. Also in my opinion, rear steer is only effective if it is independently controlled. If you are talking about the stock tires there is no foam in them and no way that I am aware of to make them conform to rocks better, just turn them around and drill more holes, your best bet is new wheels and tires though. I can't see the lockers you are talking about, but most come in pairs. Not all so you might want to email the seller. Or just go with the rcguy ones, they work great.

I'd personly go with 2 servos.. that way you can control your rear steer.. you don't always want it on... or maybe you want to have it turn the other way.... i just put it on my rig... works good... with locked axles its nice for tight turns..

since my wheelyking I have upgraded to the axial, but I am going to try somthing with the stock WK wheels and tires. I'll let you know if it works, if you plan on using the stocks.
I'm going to randomly drill holes in the sidewall and see if it gives any. May or may not, no sweat, like I said they dont get used anymore.
