im not sure how its done, but i have heard about it. Not sure i would do it though. I think it would be too much of a handfull at higher speeds

Try putting the front end assembly on the rear. Get some servo arm/wire extensions and create something. You'd probably want some type of regulator to limit the amount of steering that the rear would do. You definitely would not want it to be full steering like the front, as that would turn into a flipping fiesta.

Just say that you could get the rear to stear like the front, and have the ability to durn down the front and rear servos, I would think that you would keep the front and rear steering the same amount.  just have them both turned down to less than 50%

But - i am a big fan of having the rear pointing straight.  just like with dirtbikes - start the turn and hit the gas to spin the back tires to help turn.  Then when it oversteers you turn back into it and come out looking like a champ. 

only time I can think of having one of these trucks have rear steer is if it was a rock crawler or if you really like doing cyclones.
