Hello,

I'm extremely new to this subject matter. Iwant to build an RC car that has the capablitiy for me to control the speeds of both the front and rear tires independently of eachother. I'm asuming I would need to different ESC's to do this right? Also Iwant to be able to control the two sets of tires turning independently as well. I'm assuming there are no kits for this direct build, I'm gonig to be using a 5 channel reciever and a computer to control it but I was just wondering if anyone has any tips or pointers of places to start looking. So far Ijust know that I'm going to be using a specktrum receiver and transmitter.

Reciever - Ar500 5 ch reciever
Transmitter - Speckrum DX6i

I'm just curious about the esc and steering really. I think I would be able to put steering on the rear with just another servo and rods, do some models allow for this better than others. The model I'm working with now is a Tamiya Dual Hunter. Idont see why I wouldn't be able to get two one motor esc's and two servo's for this build. Thanks for your help.

What is your end goal in terms of usage?

you can do it...but why?

There are kits or RTRs, they are called MOA (motor-on-axle) crawlers and most are in the super class. They have a motor on each axle and built properly, you can control each motor independently. Most also support rear steering, so again even crab steering is possible if desired.

The usage is going to be indoor in a lab setting at relatively low speeds.

Theoretical work.

Great! thank you for your help. I'll look these up and see what I find. <br type="_moz" />

You need to set it up like a tank. Either a tank esc, or a pair of esc's on separate channels. Just run them with a pair of these http://www.rc4wdshop.com/go/product_...83812aae9876a6

Tamiya Dual Hunter has identical gearboxes front and rear. Buy some replacement front steering parts and graft them onto the rear for 4 wheel steering. There are videos on youtube of completed examples.

Here's a good example of a MOA super class crawler (don't know if this particular one is any good or worth getting, try asking in the crawler forum or go to www.rccrawler.com I think it is).

Someone else brought up tanks, there is a tank group here called the southwest armor group and there are groups like that throughout the nation. They can cost up to $10,000.00, most are custom builds and it just depends on how much you want to spend, how fast you want it to go, and so on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGr_vheIgYQ
There is also a tank group on the east coast I believe that makes faster, more manueverable rc tanks for use in paintball but I don't remember their site off the top of my head.
