hello.
so my losi lmt has arrived and I want to get 4 wheel steering on it and there are some tutorials including one by kevin talbot however from his video he
mentions listing the remote needed and its about 300£ or so. surely there's got to be some other controllers that will do the same thing?
cheers

You will need a 4+ channel radio and another servo. One channel to control rear Sero other to switch type steeling I use a box 5channel radio and have a switch to turn on 4wd only.

Of the budget radio systems out there, I would consider Radiolink fairly decent which offers the gambit of crawler functions:

The following review is on an older version but should give you an idea of the quality and basic operations where the newer versions offer a few more features:

You don't need that then your stuck with a 2-3 channel radio with a "y"' harness with a reverser and another servo. WOW! Good for you. The OP wants independent 4ws and you need a 4 channel radio or more + another servo for steering.
I just put independent 4ws on my 2021 Kyosho usa-1 nitro and I had to use Hitec lynx 4s radio. One button and I can turn on/off 4ws.

Yes OP did after I gave the cheapest option ... However HeWhoIsMostKnowledgable told me what I needed. Which first of all, I'm not building a monster truck and if I was it wouldn't matter because I buy expensive equipment to begin with. Second of all I very clearly said what was needed IF they didn't need independent control. I recommended this because the OP is trying to reduce cost.

No way to go cheap.....
You also need to replace the rear axle for a steering one:

A list of needs is under the video.
(Sometimes a bit of google can give many better answers....)

I doubt he was really talking to you, even though he quoted you. The "you need" form he used was IMO more the "one needs" version. I get why you are irritated by the guy's "I know everything better" attitude, but I think you're letting your animosity towards him clouding your judgement a little here.
