The buggy controller is really well suited for hooking a polarity switch up to it directly. The axel output for steering is (...) (21 years ago, 19-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, FTX)

The motors are doubled up on the same drive shaft that runs both the front and rear differentials. Steering is done via rack & (...) (21 years ago, 19-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
