A Traxxas 3-4 channel receiver. The 4-ch is better cause its a micro. A Traxxas TQ-3 3-3h transmitter. A "y" harness with a trim pot. A servo, mount, and whatever else you need to take care of the steering linkage.

Four wheel steer on the cheap for me was. A "Y" servo adapter and reversed servo. Also a servo mount and linkage for rear axle. Run front and rear servos on the same channel using the "Y" adapter. Simple and clean. No independent control, but you do get rear steering. It'll change your driving habits. Especially if you over volt and go fast . When you get tired of lacking independent control. Upgrade to a better radio with more channels . Then run the rear servo to your extra channel. Removing the "Y" adapter. ------Ideas------ REVERSED SERVO: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Servo-Reverse Y HARNESS: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXL309&P=0 STEERING KIT: http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/ckrc-alu...2e83cf8035224b OVERKILL BETTER RADIO: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...614FF-Receiver |

If a Traxxas 2075 servo will do what you need it too, go for it. I love TRX elecs. WP makes em even better. I get around a drag brake by using an HPI gear reduction unit - on my crawler - a mutant with a lot of WK parts. My WK trail truck has a WP XL-5, WP box w/micro rx, WP 2075 servo, a TQ-3 radio, and a 35t or 55t motor (depends on my mood). |

The 55t is pretty good, I find the 35t fast enough, but not enough torque. I would not put the GRU on eother, but I do wonder what it would be like to take say an Orion Method R 21t, and put the GRU on it. | |

I switched to the 55t for the increase in torque. Its on a trail, so I would want more umph for a crawler, but compared to the 35t, I lost a little speed, but gained a noticeable amount of torque. As far as the TRX 20t, let me guess, a gutless, stinky, Stinger!

| ha ok well how about this comparing the stock 27t with gear reduction and the 55t just motor what is speed and torque difference? and lol yes, would the orion turn it?

The 55t is much faster. Torque you cannot even compare. The GRU makes the ration175:1. The 27t and gru maybe slow, but the grunt is just plane ridiculous. I love it! I do not see changing my setup. Plus the GRU is geared so low, you get a drag brake out of it too!

When I first put it together, I was running it in the house. Was fiddling with the trim. Ended up crawling up a box fan. Fan fell over, flipped the truck on its back, and landed on the truck. I hit reverse, the wheels pushed the fan back up, the crawler drove down the front of the fan at the same times, and drove on |

I put my Orion X11 5.5t 8,100kV brushless motor on my GRU just for fun, talk about torque AND speed! The X11 is a on road race motor I found laying in a discount box at the LHS for next to nothing. | |
