4 wheel steer

[nitroanime]

I'm trying to figure out how to make my Mad force 4 wheel steer. Any sugestions?

i thnk that there is a kit for it somewhere , ill look around and talk to my guy at the hobby shop . ... how do you like your mad ? I'm thiking of getting back into the MF but I'm looking at a buggy too. i can't decide

Actually, I've already succeed. My Mab Force now has a better turning radius than my touring car. But its very touchy and will roll if you try to turn when going to fast. It also adds a whole new challenge when you try to turn while doing a wheelie. Thank god its a tough truck. I love it. wheelies on command, awsome top speed, the only problem i have right now is not enough room to drive.

I'm getting the Kyosho inferno in a couple of months. When I do I'm going to put the landmax 2 speed transmission on it.

there is a 4 wheel steer kit for the t-maxx found here at Rad RC maby u can modify it to work.good luck.

I simply bought a nother steering rod and crank set. i set it up opposite to the front. it runs off of one servo (which i now need to upgrade.)

what is a good steering servo for a MF. (aironotics/futuba)

big mistake dude. i had 4 wheel steering on my mf for about 4 runs, i destroyed the head on my engine from flipping over. it turns way to fast. the only time it wouldnt roll is when i was going about 5mph, not good for a truck that is capable of supersonic speeds. take it off the truck soon and enjoy your stable, simple mad force!

just my

you would almost need another servo and channel on your radio to make that thing work right

As long as I turn down the duel rate, turning at high speeds is possible. But I did notice the truck flips on a dime now.

The current single servo system works, its just that its not strong enough to turn all 4 tires.

Use a Airtronics 94359 with 200in/oz at .10sec or the hitec 5945 with 186in/oz at I think like 12sec the difference is like 25 to 30 bucks.

U Will Roll A Mad Force When Turning At High Speed Any Way, And U can't Tell Me Different I Own 2 Of Them. The Center Of Gravity Is Way To High On The Truck And Not Wide Enough. But The Cen Genesis 46 Has A Nice 4 Wheel Steering Kit

just a thought...

to get around the problem of rolling with 4 wheel steering, couldnt you use a servo saver on the rear steering linkage, set very light so that at speed the resistance from the tyres makes the servo saver slip, then u would only have 4 wheel steering at low speed. would probably be tricky to set tho, just an idea i had as i read the last few posts

cheers for now
