I've seen someone done it before, but I was told you need a 3 channel radio to coordinate the back steering. So far he had not been able to get it to work like clockwork. Looking at the setups, it's quite complicated if you ask me.

If you have the room, you can use the same servo for front and rear steering. Just install linkage to the rear steering control arm. However, this will not allow you to take full advantage of all-wheel steer. For example, you won't be able to "crab-walk." It will decrease your turning radius though......kinda like the new Chevy Silverado with Quadra-Steer.

You can do the rear steering with 1 servo provided that servo can take ALOT of torque and turn both steering and not lose performance. About that crab walk thingy, you can still do that... it all depends on how you connect it to the steering servo. But then again, that will be a permanent feature and you won't be able to run straight until you changed it out or add another steering servo.

Yeah, I guess I should have been more clear......yes, you can use one servo to steer both front and rear AND be able to crab-walk. However, if you set it up to crab walk using one servo you won't be able to do anything but go in a straight line......not too benefitial......
