RE: Steering problem
As long as the wheels turn when off the ground and when the truck is moving, there probably is no problem. My 1/8 scale will not turn the wheels while sitting still. Once moving, no problem at all.

RE: Steering problem
You need more power. 250 oz isn't enough power tor MT trucks. You need 300 oz or more to move those big tires. WARNING !!!!!! Do not use those those standard size servos with 300 oz or more for large scale steering......[][]

RE: Steering problem
The multiplex rhino is plenty big enough. Are you using a "Y" harness to bypass the battery power past the receiver and straight to the servo? You can also upgrade your steering linkages to the aluminium ball bearing type or just keep the plastic ones clean and lubricated. You can spend the coin on the modified "tonigawa" (spelling?) servo but I don't think it's needed.
Have you ever driven a car without power steering? They are a pain to reverse park but once you are rolling there's no problem.
I have been running a Rhino for over two years. It's a great servo and still going strong.

RE: Steering problem
I think I found my problem, this is what I get when I removed the linkage between the servo and the wheel hub.
