Well.......I still cant drive it. And it still kinda likes to twist up really bad. This might just be my driving and not approaching things square though. Seems like when I go in nice and straight it will flat out climb. Not so much if the line is off to my right or left though. Foproy got a min or two of usable video. |

| Steering is pretty good. Even better when I get some more SLW's in the rear and can run the .725 hubs out front. I think the axles have zero ack. knuckles stock so the tires have some tilt to them at full lock.

The ackerman has to do with the design of the knuckles and the relationship of the tie rod attachment point in relation to the pivot point of the knuckle at the c hub. The tilting you are talking about is due to the clocking of the axle. Generally rotating the c's back so that the top of the c hub is behind the bottom of it is the best setup.

i was able to get one good line out of that string of fails that was us trying to drive. the scaler fared a bit better, but then again i was going for easier stuff.

and here it is, what i could get from today. i hope to get some more at the comp. err you will have to excuse my bad camera work, and of course i had to pimp my own rig in this too. please also excuse Jason's slightly better camera work. btw that pan i used at the start of my portion was i think an accident, and great all at once. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7dpPvwhzWQ and yes i have used the first song before, but it was all i could hear when Jason was running his truck. well that and the Taylor swift i had stuck in my head from work.
