Ok, I want a buggy/ rear steer/LS

Is that to much to ask?
Rear stear makes all the difference in the world.

I like the way this guy describes how to crawl obstacle .

Get dirty, or get off the trail!

Rear steer can push the cost of a build.

I've wondered for the East, if a rear steer is worth the cost. Our trails are not as long or technical as West coast trails are. Does the East coast really see the value of a rear steer vs running 50 degrees of steering.

New family build rig is getting 50 degrees of steering, but it's set for a drag rear axle. Rear isn't set in stone, but haven't seen the value in the extra expense.

I was denied on a trail at Rausch Creek that I'm 92% sure I would have made with rear steer. That's enough for me to do it.

Don't need long trails either, just one good obstacle

I saw Kevin (litebrite) was selling his rear steer.

 I have had 2 rigs with rear steer , the latest one with 50 degree steering and no rear steer . Unless you start competing in Werock or move out west, I like the 50 degree better. It is a complete game changer, if i had to choose, definitely 50 degree front.

Now you just need 50⁰ front and rear

I ‘member. 

I’d say it was more like 80%.  But rear steer would have for sure given you a hell of a shot. 

A better spotter would have helped a lot too

I had 6 of the best spotters available. Which were coincidentally the 6 worst available, too

We were behind a rig with 50deg front and rear this summer in Colorado. Even after knowing it had it, when he turned both axles to max on an obstacle my jaw still dropped.

keep dawging those spotters and your percentage will keep dropping.
