VRD Carbon Build Part 6 | Box B Rear Steer Upgrade with Aluminum Front Axles!

🚀 It’s time for the next evolution in the VRD Carbon Build! In Part 6, we’re taking things to the extreme by installing a second aluminum front axle for a long-term rear steer setup! 🤯 Rear steer is an absolute game-changer for rock crawling, unlocking next-level maneuverability, precision, and terrain domination. 🏔️💪
This setup isn’t just about adding another axle-it’s about engineering the ultimate control over every obstacle. From tight switchbacks to technical rock gardens, rear steer allows for tight pivoting, reduced reversing, and superior crawling efficiency. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it takes to run dual aluminum front axles, this video is for you! 🔥
🔧 What You'll See in This Video:
✅ Why I chose a second aluminum front axle-the durability, strength, and performance benefits over standard axles!
✅ Step-by-step breakdown of the rear steer installation-covering mounting, electronics setup, and testing.
✅ Challenges & adjustments-things I had to tweak along the way to get everything dialed in just right.
✅ First test run and initial thoughts-how does it handle? Is it worth it? Watch and find out!
The result? A build that’s shaping up to be an absolute beast on the rocks! This is all about pushing the limits of what an RC crawler can do, and I’m beyond excited to see how this setup performs in real-world conditions.
🔜 COMING SOON: Rear Steer Linkage Deep Dive!
One of the trickiest parts of a rear steer setup is dialing in the linkage. There are a ton of ways to set it up, and getting the perfect balance of steering angle, articulation, and stability is key to making this mod work seamlessly.
⚙️ A dedicated video is on the way covering:
🔹 Linkage geometry and positioning for maximum efficiency
🔹 Servo setup and ideal mounting points
🔹 Fine-tuning steering throw and endpoints
🔹 Testing different configurations for the best results
So, if you’re thinking about running rear steer with an aluminum front axle, you won’t want to miss that video! Stay tuned! 🔥
