How to Install Rear Steer on an Axial AX10

The Axial AX10 Scorpion is an off-road style remote-control vehicle. The car is capable of traveling over rough terrain, such as snow, mud and rocks. Adding rear steering to the unit expands its ability and traveling power. The least complicated way to install rear steering is to install a rear-steer kit during the initial construction of the remote-control car. You should only attempt this project if you have some knowledge of mechanical engineering basics.
