Thanks. But I figured out a way to set up my steering. I'll just be lazy and use
the Lego Technic Crane idea of having the steering in the end of the vehicle. (I
have found that it is difficult to control a 6+ axle steering by a knob on the
top of the vehicle).

To make the steering work best, the external knob should turn the outermost sets
of wheels, ie the ones nearest the front and back of the crane, with the most
direct link possible, then gear it down towards the centre to steer the rest.

This I sort of figured out when I was trying to test the steering. Maybe when I
strip it down, I 'll revamp the steering (but the thing is I want all the
steering axles to steer).
