Now we have 10mm between ackermann uniballs on plate, well, with that quote, steer feels like too much nervous early the corner ( when you start to push on radio stick), but loose front end from middle to exit corners.

Now we're testing a new concept plate with 8.5 mm distance, maybe better because both steer levels works more to the center of axes and steering feels more linear trought corner, from entry to exit. also we add an hole on the plate center to connect the servo's link, so the force that servo create on plate is the same for right/left sides.

It's just a test and i will update for time laps results
I feel this will be a great update to the current steering rack. With my previous testing I have found that 8mm to 8.5mm of distance between the steering links to be the easiest to drive. With great handling around corners mid corner to exit steering gaining the most.
