Default 4ws w/ dig setup

I was thinking of running this setup because i recently ordered a 3channle radio and i have had the rear stear setup. Im about to order my DIG and i was wondering if id have an advantage with both DIG and 4WS? id love to see some video footage with a setup like this. im running AX10

I've never seen a rig with 4ws and dig. Im sure its been done but Ive never seen it. I'd just go with the dig in case you ever want to enter a comp.

10 model memory means the transmitter can remember info for ten different rigs.

You can set up a profile for your different r/c's. Like you throttle trim, steering trim EPA's etc... and the radio will remember up to ten of them so you dont have to take the time to set everything when you switch r/c's.

Yep. We run stick TX's to do that. You can have 4WS and dig with a 3ch TX, you just need a servo reverser. You just won't be able to have independent control of the rear steering, both the front and back will turn opposite direction at the same time.

The Punk units work good, you just need a little time to get used to them and be able to work them in a timely manner.

But Novak has a new ESC with Dig built in. I don't know for sure but you should be able to have independent 4WS and Dig with a 3ch tx with that ESC.

I've never run or set up dig and rear steer and that punk computer is waaaay over my head. I admit to being a dummy , but I do not know how ya can get full function dig (front/4wd/rear or 4wd/freewheel/dig) and rear steer (combined/lock/crab/independent) without 4 channels and at least a couple mixes. :?
Almost no one runs supers around here so I was toying with doing a cliff climber with dual dig and 4ws plus my 4pk but for the price I'm gonna just do a 2.2 with some HR axles I picked up. Should be a fun basher.

all u need to run a rear steer is a reversing Y harness. for around 13-18 shipped. and this u dont need any fancey controller or anything just plug the servos in plug the y into the rx and bam rear steer. and what it really is is a servo reverser for airplain alerons so when they turn right one wing aleron goes up and the other wing goes down. anyway heres a link to it

Yeah, but then all ya have is rear steer turning with the front all the time, right?:? If I'm gonna spend the the time and money for rear steer, I want to have all the control over it I can get!
