Hi Duq

Thanks.

Yes, if you steer while not moving. As long as you steer while driving around,
it is much easier to control the direction you are heading to. When opening the
Pneumatic valve for steering just a bit, the airflow can be controlled quite

On the geared motor sits an 8 tooth gear which drives another 8 tooth gear which
itself sits on an axle that holds a worm gear. The worm gear then drives the 24
tooth gear of the differential case. The whole assembly (motor, differential,
rear wheels) can swing around two Technic pins in up and downwards direction.
Two rubber belts serve as replacements for springs.
Hope it helps.
