love that black and red. sharp looking body that i have not seen before. looks like a bug from the future.

I would like to hear about that 4WS steering as well. I picked up a 6 channel radio and bought a 645 servo assuming I can use the stock one on the rear, however, I am not sure what I need to do next to complete 4WS....buy a front axle??

You don't need a full axle. Just pick up the Knuckles, C's, and linkage.

LOVE it! I'm a heli/plank guy, so I have a nice tx already... I use my elev for throttle, aileron to steer both front and back in the same direction (sort of like a strafe), and rudder to steer front and back in opposite (for tighter turning), as well as able to steer front or back independently with switches. It gets me a lot more control over where to place the tires, and makes it a lot of fun to climb. Check out the youtube vid... it's nice to place the back wheels where you want it

Oh wow man yeah! good to see you here too! yup same crabfu from HF... same guy that did the steam robots & swashbot. A while back I did steam powered crawler from a tamiya high-lift too: http://www.crabfu.com/steamtoys/rc_steam_beetle/

yeah it's pretty easy to do they don't sell the servo mounts however, so you'd have to rig something up. I think I am using the ones from the tamiya tlt that I had laying around.

I was thinking more along the lines of an armadillo! That's crazy looking. Nice work!

What shocks are you using?

Thanks, shocks were for mini-t, sorry I don't remember the brand as I had them laying around. The shafts on them were a bit short, and different sized ball links at the end, so I ended up with a hybrid of using stock shaft and ball links in them.
