All you need is a few parts, a bit of time, and the proper radio. Converting our original Axial Capra to include 4-wheel steering is a simple and straightforward process. A review of the S6230 servo can be found in this month’s Test Bench.Īnd there you have it.

I opted to install a pair of Spektrum S6230 high-torque servos for this exact reason. I highly recommend using low-profile steering servos since we don’t want to compromise the sealed receiver box.

Once done, this trimming will clear plenty of space for the newly added rear steering servo, allowing for full suspension compression and articulation.

This can be easily done using a cutoff wheel on a rotary tool. Make sure to cut at the same spot on both sides. Next up, cut away the lower-most area from the rear of the cage (shown in red). Cut away the middle portion of the brace along with the lower crossbar (shown in red), leaving only the top crossbar when we are finished. This is the main structural brace of the rear-most part of the roll cage. To remedy this, we need to make some space by trimming a couple points of the rear cage.įirst thing we need to do is loosen and remove the rear cage brace. Since the original roll cage was not designed with enough clearance for a rear servo, the back portion of the cage hits the top of the servo and limits suspension travel. Thanks to the symmetrical design of the front and rear suspension links, swapping the original rear axle with the new unit is as simple unbolting the old part and installing the new one. Reuse the original wheel hexes and spacers from the rear axle. Take care to properly grease the bevel and pinion gears as well as the portal gears before assembly to ensure a long and reliable service life. You will also need a 4-channel receiver to accommodate the new rear-steering servo alongside the Dig transmission servo.Īssemble the axle just as you did with the original front part.

I personally use a Spektrum DX5 Pro (shown in the photos), as well as a KO Propo EX-II, both of which have 4WS steering capabilities. All you need to do is go into your radio’s menu and dial in the proper settings. Many mid-range and high-end radios will have built-in 4WS capability.

To accommodate our newly added 4WS capabilities, we will need a transmitter that’s up to the task. One M3x12 Button Head Screw (AXA116) (Not Shown) This collective parts list will build an entire steering axle that is ready to bolt on.ġ. Below you will find two lists-one for required parts, and another for parts that can be reused from the original rear axle, along with a full set of reference photos and associated part numbers. We will need a mirror copy of the front axle, along with the associated steering components. What I found when researching the conversion is that it is actually quite simple and only requires a handful of necessary parts along with a couple hours of time. This is especially handy for a crawler, which benefits from the exacting precision of the 4WS design. Four-wheel steering, or 4WS as I’ll be referring to it, is just what it sounds like-steering at both the front and the rear wheels of the vehicle for improved turning capability and maneuverability. Having recently reviewed Axial’s new 4-wheel-steering Capra, I was inspired to convert our test Capra to mimic its newly improved sibling.
