It just feels right, also at low speeds and in tight turns.
Less
(Smaller, or no difference in steering
angle between the two font wheels) Less Ackermann makes the steering more agressive at high speeds.
The car turns in more agressively.
It doesn't work well when either traction or cornering speeds are low.
Would putting shims on the ballstuds that attach to the ackerman give me more or less ackermann
My track I would consider small with high traction clay that has 3 180degree hairpin turns. I want to be able to make as tight as a turn as I can and carry as much speed as possible.
Another stupid question: What is the easiest way to detach the turnbuckles from the ballstuds? I know i'm doing it completely wrong.
I'm wondering the same thing about adding shims to the ballstuds on the steering rack? I see Tebo added 1mm to his latest setup.
