| All it takes is to buy the replacement parts for the steering and another high torque servo. On your radio you will need either a stick radio or your going to need a 3CH radio and a y-harness (it will be full time rear steer) If you use our VR3T pistol grip radio you can mix the rear steering with a very low cost radio system. If you have a stick radio you can steer the rear when you want to.  Chris |

| I just got mine all set up and going, pretty cool. I had to turn my EPA's down cause this thing had such a good turning radius allready. I do need some help though. When im slightly bound up with both wheels turned the whole rig locks up. Can't turn, can't go foward or back, nothing. When I pick it up the servo's self center, wheels straighten up and I can get it to function again. Any one know whats going on? |

| If you use Spektrum you can just set the rear steering up on the third channel of a dx3r. There is a three position thumb switch that works great for rear steering. If you need detailed instructions send me a pm. |

| just ordered steering kit Hope to get some pictures earlier than the guys already running rear steering. I have Airtronics MX3FHSS radio and it has 2position 3rd channel. Anyone knows of a gadget that can activate and disactivate Yharness by that 2position switch? |
