You probably need to do a little research before asking questions like this. It's all been covered before.

To sum it up, you need a 3 channel radio and reciever (like a TQ3) and then just mount a steering servo on the rear and build some steering links. Any of the common "strong" steering servos will work, and they are readily available from a number of vendors.

If you do use the rear steer, you need to know it is not 2.2 legal. Yu would not be able to compete with it

We have a Hobbytown over in West Monroe. You can go in there and pic up a Hitec 645mg for $44 bucks after tax. OR you could order it from one of our great vendors. Alot of the vendors sell TowerPro servos for ~22 bucks plus shipping. They are plenty strong, but like sucking power and have reliability issues.

There is a free servo template you can use to make your own servo mount for the rear. It is stickied in the WK section. Free WK servo mount templates Or check with the vendors, they sell some great mounts. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74210

If you get the TQ-3 radio you might need to mod it. I live in Monroe(not far at all) and I can show/help you do everything you want to do to your WK. PM me. We need more crawlers in North LA.
