The Carson steering arms are great! They improve the steering lock a fair bit!! I have them on all my euro rigs!! I get mine from an online shop in German! (I have also been there superb place) here is a link to the part!

Carson steering arm

Here's a pic of the part fitted on my Volvo 6x2 I am currently building. But it works on all of the tamiya rigs even the R620. (best suited to the euro rigs thou!)

I agree, the steering lock is pretty pants on the scania. I resolved this by bending the ends of the arm in a little so that it wouldn't block. I got max steering out of it but had to limit the servo maximum reach so as not to have the wheels touch the chassis.

so do you have to drill a new hole in the steering arm?
