First try using this type of steering control ( this one did not work needed some changes )

Used a Hitec 785 winch servo ( 3.5 turns) and a 12T sprocket ( servo city)

Needed to get this thing on all fours...or should I say six....
Cut the bearing hubs off the cheap rims that came with the tires , then made simple front hubs for testing this thing out...after welding they got faced off , drilled and reamed for some bushing. I hope to make some better front hubs with ball bearings later on (but most likely I will use these for a long time..LOL)

Steering design...take 2....

Really wanted to have this all in the body and not under the truck but for now it will work...don't even know how or if this idea will work, needed to do something to test it all out.....(hopefully it will have enough torque for this heavy model)
