Man , this is going to be nice to have 4ws ! A few extra steps yes, but on the trail it should definitely worthwhile! Truly excellent instructional John my friend . This thing is on its way!🤗🤩💯‼️

[@JF-RC]

Hi Robby, always a pleasure to read your wonderful, kind comment, always makes me very humble and honoured. I thought I’d have a go at this 4WS thingy…I’ve used a channel on my RadioLink system that I can mix with the channel 1 and adjust the rear steering on the fly, using one of the dials on the transmitter. That way I can dial the rear steering down on straights and at speed and dial it back up for the delicate and tight crawling scenes, well that’s the plan 🖐️😉best wishes to you and the family, hope you’re all well. 😎😊😉

[@Fortes_RC_Adv]

Nice work 👏

[@NANNIRC]

Rear axle steering! That's great! Ciao

[@JF-RC]

Hi Nanni, thank you watching and leaving me a nice comment. I’ve not done rear steering before, first time for me. Best wishes 😊😉😎Ciao

[@HaydadRC]

Hi John verry nice step.

[@JF-RC]

Hi Dave, thank you for watching and leaving me a comment. Best wishes 😊😉😎

[@madmustangrc214]

JOHN HELLooo lol. Well done my friend 4 wheel steering has always been a awesome factor but at higher speeds can get tricky so No speed runs lol. Have a great one bud.

[@JF-RC]

Hi Kev, thank you my good friend. Thought I’d have a go at this 4WS thing…I’ve got it rigged on my RadioLink system, so that I can adjust the DR on the fly, that way on a speed run, no rear steering, but turn the channel up, with slow crawling and tight situations. Well that the plan 🖐️😊best wishes to you and the family, hope you’re all keeping well. 😉😎😊

[@sparetimerc]

Hi John, getting closer to the finish line with the Rock Socker, with the rear steering it will make it easier to get out of tight spots. Take care and best wishes to you and the family.

[@JF-RC]

Hey Al, thank you for watching and leaving me a nice comment. I’ve been looking forward to getting this one out and about, I’ve been so excited about how the 4WS was going to function. Best wishes to you and the family 😊😉😎

[@AddamsPlayground]

Looking good John! Th rear steer should be fun and useful when out crawling around! Sorry I have been MIA for a while, been tough to keep up with everyone's videos!

[@JF-RC]

Hi Addam, always an honour my friend to hear from you, appreciate it’s hard to keep up, with so many. Hope you’re keeping well, best wishes to you all 😎😊😉

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Nice work John I haven't tried the rear steering I locked mine out with aluminum aftermarket parts not really happy with the quality might look for different ones

[@JF-RC]

Hi Brent, thank you for watching. I hope you find or fabricate some better parts, I know if anyone can, you can 😎😊😉

[@FastFreddyRC]

It's deja vu! lol - So why did you have to change the servo saver back to the standard one for the rear steering? Not sure I caught what happened there.

[@JF-RC]

Hi Freddy, I had to change and prioritise the servo saver for the main steering, because I didn’t have a second one for the rear, so opted to have that direct, as I was going to dial down the rate, using the radio, so thought best to have the saver on the front, and me being thrifty and not buying a second saver. Best wishes 😊😉😎

[@FastFreddyRC]

@@JF-RC makes complete sense to me! :)
