Go to http://www.****************.com/showthread.php?p=30001, they have a forum for these trucks and the many issues relating to problems with steering. How much do the cost?

what type of driving will you be doing? with 4 wheel steering the truck is going to be more prone to flipping over.

Weren't the 4WD kits from that company prone to failure?

Yes, they were because they used plastic where metal should have been used.

Now, I heard (but I could have heard lies, so dont quote me on this) that Kamitiro was addressing that issue and either were adding a alum plate to reinforce the plastic or putting in an all alum alloy part.

I personlally have not seen the new improved part (if they have actually fixed the problem).

the belt drive kit they had used all alloy parts and it was possible to scrap the belt (non toothed and slipped like hell) and convert to chain drive...you can buy all the alloy bits seperately...all moot now as fg have their own kit.
the K3 spider has been around for over a year and i've never seen any feedback on it on any forums....the rhino has been around a while and i know of one person who has/had one...kamitrofan...i believe he's here and on LSF
4ws would be good for rockcrawling but not much else really, as mentioned cut the rear and it'll flip over at any sort of speed

I think the car don´t flip over if you steer the backwheels the same direction like the front wheels (but only 10% of the frontwheel steer angle) like this -> / / . I heard that this improves the driving stability.
If you steer the front and backwheels in opposed like this -> / \ the car has a smaller turn radius.

Has anyone experience in this topic?

By the way the newer chain drive has a steel cage to reinforce the plastic
