Turning Radius

[BuddhaBomb]

Getting the steering all set up and tacked in. I was surprised at the turning radius these things need. It seems that the rear tires "scrub" when attempting sharper turns. The BSR is 40" wide and 45" long. Has anyone else noticed this and how does that relate when driving them? ... Seems like they would want to "lift" the inside rear tire...

Width: 40"
Length: 45"
Ackerman: True
Camber: 10 degrees
Castor: 7 degrees
Toe: In 1/8"

Yes, I have. Becareful with the caster. I set mine at 7.5 and it lifted the rear wheel about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. It will still feel like it is turning on a dime with you sitting 3' in the air. You will also be taking out the 1/8 toe in to an out measurment. It will help on stability at higher speeds.

Thanks Chris for the heads up... I would have thought these things would do better at toe-in. Still have a ways before I need to worry about that though...:cheers:
