Hey, ive been looking alot in this forum for an answer, but i cant find one, and figured out that i could just ask, so here goes.

Has anyone here used a servo on the last axel on the reefer trailer? and how did you installed it? pictures / videos are greatly appreciated :) :) :)

Best regards Gunnar jan/IceDog, Norway

I have a tamiya reefer built as a flatbed and I replace the rear steering axle with a straight axle that I got off ebay, because personaly I don't think that a rear steering axle is needed, unless you intend to try and get it around very sharp corners in reverse

The only thread I have came across is on http://www.rc-trucking.com/index.php in How 2's and titled "reefer trailer steering" though I do remember there was more to that thread but I think some posts have been removed...

Well, the total lenght of my truck and reefer is 1,4meters, so i kinda need that steering, also, i tryed without the steering and had them locked in place, the tires would just twist of even when glued.. so i kinda think to not have too much stress on the tires that they need that extra steering one :)

here is a link to the topic that Tracy mentioned, there is a picture of the steering axle at the bottom of the pager showing the servo mount
