4 Wheel Steering Controller 8)
A few guys were asking if I could make the four wheel steering controller work from a two position third channel, so I got it working the other day!
At start up, the rear servo is locked.
Push and release CH3 and the rear servo follows the front servo.
Push and release CH3 and the rear servo turns opposite the front servo.
Push and release CH3 and the rear servo is locked again... etc.
When the non locked positions are selected, the rear servo moves the same amount that the front servo does... well, to a point...
To protect your rear servo, there are end point adjustments on the controller so that you can set how far to the left and right that the rear servo can travel, this way, you won't risk straining your servo or linkage when turning sharp. There is also a trim control to make sure that you go straight when you let go of the wheel.
But is it waterproof?
Well, no. But, it is mostly waterproof, and you can make it waterproof if you like. The water can get in where you adjust the EPA and Trim controls. Once you have them adjusted, cover the openings with silicone or plastidip and you will be good!
I recommend running a BEC when you are using the 4WS controller as you need a lot more power to start throwing around another pair of wheels!
The price is $50
