Default I need help

Well, I'm working on a maxx crawler much like jason's. I can't figure out how to make the steering work, any help is much needed.

you need a bent bar going all the way across and another bar going from the servo to one of the wheels. hope that helps.

The best and most simple setup is this. Mount the servo right in the middle ontop of the bulkheads, then just make two link the run from the servo horn to each wheel. One link to the right the other to the left thats it.


[]---=---[]

[] is the wheels

---- are the two links

= is the servo mounted on top of the bulkheads

This is how I did my rear steering on my E-maxx. Worked perfectly.

And dont bother with the bent bar idea becaue it doesnt work properly.
