yurtle 01-06-2002, 03:56 PM You are gonna laugh when you see the source, but it is the best info I have found on steering geometry. I am building a go cart for my kid, and for some fab tune-up on my part. This is the only go-cart around with ackerman steering, kingpin inclination, caster & camber and dual a-arms with coilovers.

Hell, I want to build a gocart for myself with the 750cc Yamaha twin I have in the back yard!:eek: steelman 01-06-2002, 10:41 PM fantastic site dude!!! thanks for the link. kind of knew that stuff but the animations really helped clear it up. we need more info like this posted on here. steelman scwafish 01-07-2002, 07:04 AM Hey that was sweet! I'm sure some one will rip it but I thought it was well done. DRM 01-07-2002, 07:17 AM That has got to be the best intro to steering 101 I have EVER seen on the net! Simple, great visual aids, wow!

Maybe not...even DRM approved!:D yurtle 01-07-2002, 03:19 PM Didn't find that site in time to get the ackerman angles right, but that should be an easy fix. The frame came out a bit short after plunking that big giant seat in there, but it should be nice & safe and my son thinks it is "Tight". Probably gonna ditch the A-arms and go with a 3 link and beam up front. IFS is for wimps.
