In my latest model I found the same thing. It's a mobile crane with 3
steering axles, 2 front, 1 counter. It would only steer while moving, and
still with difficulty. The trick would be to put more gears on, but then
steering would be very slow. It'll also depend on the wheels/tyres you use.
The ones that are on the tow truck don't look realistic on a truck, but they
only have a small contact surface, and allow the pivot point to be close to
the center of the tyre.
I don't think a micromotor will be doing the steering on my next big
truck/crane....
