Tamiya Clodbuster Rear Steer Installed!

My latest modification to the Clodbuster is rear steer made possible by Crawford Performance Engineering. I also go over the modification required to turn a Traxxas TQ transmitter into a rear steer controller.

Thumbs up great video no music finally somebody who showed the rear steer mod I didn’t think it could be done because I’ve been seeing lockout sets and I want to still have four wheel steer the only problem I see is there’s no servo saver so if it takes a hard good bye servo

[@jongeddes09]

The Tamiya high strength servo saver would probably work. I've found that beefing up the steering with metal gear servos, an aluminum arm, and heavy duty links has worked well.

How did you swap the steering to make the tires turn the correct way? Couldn’t you just mount the rear servo upside down?

[@jongeddes09]

That's what I did, although it does throw off the steering geometry a bit. The best way would be to rewire the servo at the plug.

I know so little about servos right now that I can’t even picture how to do that in my head lol

@@justinmoessinger6977 You can either disassemble them and swap wires around inside or get a premade "servo reverser" adapter that plugs in between the servo and receiver

Ohhh very cool! Thanks for the info!

[@verdman54]

Does it drive straight no problem at high speeds now?

[@jongeddes09]

VERDUCHI MAN yes! Much straighter! The CPE setup takes all the slop out of the steering system

[@verdman54]

Thanks, man I still have my cpe steering kit that I need to put on once I transfer the axles and gearboxes to the sicNme products clod chassis.

VERDUCHI MAN it's definitely a night and day difference versus the stock, mid mounted setup. I think you'll like it. In my opinion, vertical mount servo kits are well worth the time and money.
