Which is silly considering they used to allow monster trucks to run dual steering servos, back when we used to race those
I think it could be an awesome setup, I may have to try one out myself. With mixing, I should be able to have the rear steer only when I hit max travel on the wheel, like for a tight 180. All other speeds would be normal steering. Even better would be a little crab steering at speed, definitely worth trying.....
There's a thread on here somewhere where a guy made his TC 4WS, I think he liked it too. I'll try to find it.


From the rule book-
4.1.9 Except in 1/5 scale class vehicles, radio systems are limited to the use of two channels, operating two servos, or a combination of one servo and one electronic speed controller. More than one function is allowed per device, but a servo is limited to one output shaft. Control is limited to forward, brake, and steering. The use of reverse in competition is not allowed. On 1/5 scale vehicles, three channels and more than two servos may be used, but control is limited to forward, brake and steering.
Thanks Matthew!

Ya, the adjustments are endless on different ways you could run the rear steer. The new 4WS radios are awesome. You can also hit a button while on the fly and turn off the rear steer or you could also set up for max travel like you said and then hit the button and have the rear steer being 25% of the front steer.

Got to worn you that there's a couple parts that have to be made, spindle carriers and steering top plate. I still have to make a rear chassis brace. I'll try to post pics today.
