SCX24 UPGRADE - REAR STEER!! How to Install 4 Wheel Steering on your Axial SCX24
Рет қаралды 13,151
Жыл бұрынIn this video I show you step by step how to install four wheel steering in your Axial SCX24. 4WS is a great way to improve maneuverability and boost performance, especially in tight, technical sections. The rear steering upgrade is surprisingly easy as long as you have the parts! I used a stock front axle housing and servo mount. I added an EMax servo for added strength. Your rear linkage bolts up to the OUTSIDE of the servo mounts in the rear, mimicking the mounting position of the rear axle housing. Plug the servo into the AUX slot on your ESC (assuming you are running V1 electronics). Use the Channel 3 switch to operate the steering. Enjoy!

Great video. Can you let me know upper link length. I’m using 69 and 61.5mm and the diff is not sitting straight. I think upper link needs to be about 58mm to accommodate the shorter distance to the mounting tabs on servo tray. Is this what you did? Thanks

Good explanation, thanks! Could one program the stock deadbolt transmitter so that the 3-position cycled steering between crab/2WS/4WS modes, as the stock AX24 does?

Now your gonna have to buy a new radio so you can have proportional steering on the back. I just ordered the complete front axle assembly to make a rear steer rig. Have an extra C10 & Deadbolt but wasn’t ready to start cannibalizing one of them yet, plus I have plans for the C10 waiting on wheels.

i know this videos was posted a year ago but I'm just getting into modding my scx24 now.. (mostly copying what you've done with snaggletooth) just ordered a front portal axle and an extra servo and I plan to put the stock at the rear. do you think this will have an effect on the ride height on a stock chassis?

Do the gladiator, I just picked up one and was thinking of doing this mod too it. However I’m still on the fence for it since I’m doing this same mood to my deadbolt.
@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын
I initially really wanted to do the gladiator, but I am concerned about having those big C-hubs hanging down on all four corners with the portals. I've also gotta look at the clearance in the back. Adding the rear steer significantly lifted the rear end of the deadbolt. I don't want that same thing to happen to the gladiator since I did a lot of work to get it to sit how I like.

Great content! I just finished doing a fcx axle install on my scx gladiator. Also have rear steer with the furitek lcg chassis. Can someone please make the screws just a little smaller. Maybe we could use the Hubble telescope to magnify and install them.
@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! How was the axle swap? The portals from the fcx are dirt cheap! The Hubble telescope comment killed me 🤣
@FYRC15 Жыл бұрын
@@CapeCrawlers The swap was great performance wise. It was obviously mix and match the links. I figured a way out to capture inside link to the axle. About the same speed as the fcx. Just dont need to change gears now. Almost have to have another motor and speed control. Gives you the bottom end control. Nic e to have the plastic axle housing. Cuts weight a lot. Metal diff will be great when someone makes them.

@Mattyteze Жыл бұрын
I tried this with a stock servo, and I have found when trying to climb with the back wheels straight, they feel floppy and turn by themselves. When I have then turned left or right they feel firm. Is this a common problem running the servo through channel 3, or is the stock servo just not strong enough to keep the wheels straight?
@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын
I think it's the latter: weak servos. I tried a stock servo on my sons gladiator when we did 4WS and it was the same thing you are experiencing. I added an emax and it was good to go.

@Cape Crawlers thank you very much. It's my daughters crawler, so I didn't want to recommend her buy an upgraded servo with just a guess.
