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...

Cheers Tracy

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
