Hi Jim - With Pollywog's triangular wheel layout , engine torque can't load
one front tire more than the other - If the thrust of the front tires is
outboard of the king pins , right/left thrust needs to stay balanced for the
car to go streight - But because the surface always has ripples front wheel
drivecars without negative off set wheels tend to dart side to side .
