is there a way to have for wheel steering with the stock setup? im going to get one in a few days and i want to know because it come with a 2ch remote and if it would work our would i have to get a 3ch remot and mount the servos on the axles, its not going to be a comp crawler.

If didn't mind the price there is the modded tq3 for rear wheel steering. http://www.tcscrawlers.com/product.p...cat=116&page=1 For the on the axle steering if you wanted a full kit. http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...products_id=23 Thats the only way i know of blazer boy. |

Stock servo wouldn't be strong enough. I don't remeber the stock setup well enough but it would be pretty difficult to do a 4w steer using kit parts. There may be a way to mod the stock config into something like the Clodbuster's stock system but it would easier to mount each servo on the axle. You can get away with Y-cording the 2 servos but it would full time 4w steer. I did that on my Clod years ago. It would get you by until you get a 3 channel if you just have to have 4w steer. A modded TQ3 is a good cheap choice. Futaba's 3PM is another option and available in 2.4g so you don't have to worry about friends being on the same freq. The 3rd channel mixing instructions are posted on here somewhere. I really like the extra adjustments with the 3PM, I can really fine tune my steering. It's not truly independant for rear steer like the TQ3 but I only toy with 4w steer so it's not that critical for me. |

Actually, the TowerPro MG945 is a better choice - it has more torque but at a slighter slower speed (which is irrelevant in the case of a crawler) and only costs 1 dollar more!!! http://www.jpcustomrcs.atomicshops.c...75/4462001.htm |
