It could be done with a 2 channel radio, but you would have to use a Y harness and would not have independent control of each axle.

3 channel is the preferred way to go to steer front or rear seperately, and you will have to make some links to hook rear axle together or get the rear steer kit in order to get the job done.

4 channel will allow you to control the steering independently, and motors independently if it's a moa rig. Sounds crazy to drive, but it's actually a blast. I just got a futaba 6EX to pilot my super. Great radio for the money. 2 high torque servos, and steering linkage are the only other things I can think of. Check out rc4wd's website for steering linkage, or you could make your own?
