Just wondering if anybody has/or knows how to make rear steer for a Losi mini Rock Crawler.

buy a front axle and replace the rear with it?

get the front C's, steering blocks and axles?

Put on front C's, spindles, and steering links. Everything else is ready for rear steer.

Me too. Losi alum. C's and spindles with Losi CVD's to go with the Hot Racing C's and spindles with Losi CVD's.

Not possible!

I upgraded to a 3 channel remote to allow me to use the back on its own.
heres a link to the controller i got and the mod i made.

Nice. I am upgrading to a DX3S and changing the esc to a B1r so it can handle the new servos.

I ran the stock ESC with two Hitec HS-645MG's with zero problems. I also run weight in the tires which puts quite a bit more strain on the system.

It apparently happens to some escs but not others from what I have read.

you have to get a y conector if u dont wanna get a new controller

I wanted to have free control over the rear steer (should have bought the DX3R instead) since there is not a dig unit available yet.
