| Has anyone installed rear steer on a Night Crawler or Comp Crawler?
I don't plan on comping my night crawler, but I wanna convert it to rear steer. Has anyone done this or know what parts I will need? I'm sure I'll need a new radio, but not sure which kind? Don't need a fancy expensive one. I also don't want a dig, so please don't turn this into a dig vs. 4ws. thanks for any help or ideas |

you'd need knuckles and carriers, another pair of cvds, a steering linkage, and a servo mount. pretty straight forward actually, just make sure to get 2x 6x12x4 bearings when you do, or you'll be short those. radio, dx3e will provide left, right, and center. i think the higher end spek's and the 4pl would do better, you'll need someone else to pipe up on that. http://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/losa1030.htm just stick in the losi section on rpp, should be able to find it all in there, they have it all right there sans the bearings. recommend those knuckles and carriers for the fact that is a full set, and they're cheap. may need a spacer kit as well, there is one in the knuckles between the bearings. again, rpp rocks for finding most common stock losi items.

WOW Digger thanks for all the research That gives me a good idea what's in store for me. Ain't gonna be easy but I've wanted 4ws since I got it. I learn by watching someone or seeing pics. hopefully someone can dig up a step by step how-to with pics.

take your front axle apart, put it back together, now do that with the rear. simple.

| It took me all of 13 minutes if you look at my post times. All I did was go to horizon hobby's website and using their parts finder tool, I looked at the exploded parts diagram for the truck... Super easy.
