Hey guys, I decided to put rear steering on my TLT and I'm having some issues. I got everything mounted fine, but when I turn the wheels, all four point in the same direction. Did I miss something? By the way, I'm using a Tamiya AdSpec radio for the time being until I can get my hands on a TQ3. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

He is, try it out. The TLT manual even tells you this.

BagoXCAlum · 07-13-2006, 08:17 PM

I just tried it with no luck. Still pointing all four tires the same direction.

Tanis · 07-13-2006, 08:38 PM

Servo horn will be pointing up not down on the rear

I use a Y harness with trim adjustment for $8.95 new...

BagoXCAlum · 07-13-2006, 09:07 PM

Hey guys. Well, I flipped the servo horn over and its working the way it should now:-P . I had to fasion a dropped drag link from the horn to the knuckle, but seems to work ok. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Thanks!

The trim adjustment is worth its weight in Gold. You can irritate the hell out of yourself adjusting all 4 wheels on one trim adjustment. God help you if you bend a rod the slightest bit... LOL
