| Rear Steer Or Not In A Super?
I've heard Grizly4x4 mention this before and kind of agree that it can be a nuisance on many occasions ...but then again losing lots of steering angle might be too ??? Guys experienced in Supers please help !!! Thanks !!! note: I haven't upgraded to a 3 channel radio for dig yet. |

absolutely!!!! everything has its pros and cons but..... it can be a pain in the butt but also if you get bound up you can sometimes use the rear steer to get you out. i ran mine with and without and would never go back to without

I would not build a Super without rear steer. You just need to have the channels to be able to run independent rear steer. |

I would def do rear steer. It helps when you're in a bind sometimes, not to mention the benifit of tight turns.

Agreed. Well worth having on a super, but it's most valuable when you can control it on it's own channel. I find myself mixing the steering channels together most of the time, because it's easier to run that way, but once in a while, it's handy to run them separately. I'm still getting the hang of using a stick radio for crawling, so maybe that's why I mix the steering 90% of the time.

Rear steer + dig on a super IMHO, i have one of my clods with both (claw chassis) and another one just with rear steer(pimp cane). Edit: THH, you should look into an Acoms fm 40 mhz 4 ch radio, they weren't to expensive when i got mine a couple years ago, and you can control rear steer and dig individually.

heres a link to a "how to" set up a Spektrum DX6 for rear steer and Dig. http://www.rccrawler.com/dx6.html Rear steer is an absolute must with a super. You can maybe get away with it if your wheelbase is at the absolute minimum. But an 18" Super would be undriveable without rear steer. IMO |
