Not done yet.......let's talk about "scrub". I personally know little about the effects other than it may not be good and zero isn't good either. Skip _______________________________________________

Skip, There is a great thread on the forum re: "scrub". It's a must read if you experience any instability at high speed. Zero scrub is probably optimum. Hotschue ____________________________________

Just so I can understand. If scrub radius is the turning paths of the steering wheels, can there be scrub with only one? I thought scrub was the tires fighting each others rolling path. ____________

Did 788 pull, at all, towards or away from the "loaded" side? I have found that mine pulls a little away from the side with the most weight on the spindle.....as it should. So weight control or load

I have the model...it's the front part of the chassis on the weld fixture (completing the cockpit air conditioning installation). The effects are easy to see but the loads are not easy to quantify.
