Rear wheel stearing on the old savage 21 ?

[harry538]

is rear wheel stearing on the 21 a thing ? how hard would it be to mod it ? any know ?

Hardly worth the time and investment, 4w steer is best used by Monster Trucks and Crawler types, I think it will be a handful to drive...

The original Savage SS had adjustable rear tracking control turnbuckles. They had a tendancy to pop off the ball, so I made mine captive.

I don't think it would be all that difficult to introduce rear steering, but you'd need to decide how you wanted it to respond. At low speed, you could have the same amount of rear lock as the front.

But at higher speed, you'd really want very little or no rear steering.

It's handy on Crawlers or large scale monsters like the Raminator. You can set it to steer the same way (to crab) or opposite (for much smaller turning radius).

My old PB Xi2 Super Competition 1/8th nitro buggy had 4 wheel steering.



Before the Kyosho Burns, this is what Nitro Buggies used to look like! 😅
