Is there a way to steer it like a left and right motor function? Looks like its just 1 motor via a gear box to both sides so no way to stop one side

Yes and no. I bought this after I put together the tracked vehicle. Tamiya 70168 Double Gearbox L/R Independ 4-Speed. That way you can skid steer it.

You will either need the dual gear box or do as I did and craft two units side by side with a brace to hold them together, I found this to be the best solution for me as the wooden platform was WAY too skinny for my needs.

you would need to get the double gearbox to control the motors with individual logic to steer it in a specific direction.

Unfortunately not. It has an affixed axle which does not allow for turns. It's just a basic learning project. I think there should be more advanced learning projects there after including remote control and the ability to do more functions like turning.

No steering on this one, but Tamiya has another similar chassis with two motors, one for each side. It's a little longer if I remember correctly.

I was breaking my head trying to figure it out. I just kept turning the knob towards the right side and after a few seconds, you'll see one of the pedals rising a bit. Do it to preference, but I was finally able to raise my pedals and now it feels like I'm doing something!

Hello, Sir;Unfortunately, its for a single rotor so you would have to buy 2 for left and right.Thanks.Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

Not really - the motor is geared the wrong way to do this. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the darker section from which the motor's shaft protrudes is actually a cylindrical gear box, and it is geared to give mechanical advantage to the motor behind it. You would have to spin the shaft with so much force that the power you got out of it would probably not be worth it. What you want is setup where that gear arrangement was reversed. Then a very little input would result in a productive output.

Check which way the motor points. thats the easiest way. compare it to the picture.

I had to phase it correctly. Basically treat it like a dual dc motor driver. Also keep in mind it does not have the current control module on it. If you can live with that it works pretty good.

I have not seen any instructions in the owner's guide about manual transmissions. Wait for other answers, there might be someone who did this before.

It looks like the updated version is only for right hand drive now. When I got mine 2 years ago, it was left hand.

yes, prress stop then hold down the wheel right side or left. if you press the wheel in play, it wiil slow forward or reverse.

Yeah the markings make no sense because there is no point of reference. If you hold it in one hand and slowly push the drive in with your other hand you will see the direction it moves whether slightly clockwise or CCW. If you want it to torque the other way, just turn push in and rotate to the other setting.

I thought the bottom icon on the wheel controls reverses. I hope that helps

yes, when removing the motor from the "gear" as I mentioned do not over tighten the "screws." I had to "adjust" the pull down to the proper level so the motor would work "pulling-down" when it hit the pull down switch lever., I had to take the "gear" off several times to adjust.

Yes you would need to specify left or right unless you need both. If you need both we have a kit we both in it.Thanks for shopping Steve White Motors,Marty

Both, This item goes on either the left or right. Its best to change both though. My right sensor was bad, but I ordered 2 and changed both. The part fits the right or left wheel. be careful when pulling sensor from hub, you dont want part of it falling inside of hub. Big issue then!!!

I had a switch go loose. Look around the floor of the drivers side, under the pedals, etc, you should find some sort of switch...

I can't see why not, left leg for clutch hand control for gas and break you might have to get use to shifting you might be able to take left hand off the hand control to steer while you shift gears.
