The UW did a rws car back in '81, a 50cc chainsaw motor and electrical conduit, the problem for it was that the very long wheelbase coupled with a tricycle rear steered wheel and a driver only a coup

People are always re-inventing the "three-wheeled car" for some reason. It is a terrible configuration handling-wise. The end with a single wheel has zero roll stiffness. Different is not always bet

I have always been thinking of a tricycle layout, but with 4 wheels, with the rear wheels tandem...although this does not alleviate the triangle configuration, it does help somewhat.... John Robinson

John, the power steering was exactly what I was thinking. Only make it so that the driver feels no input from the system. He turns the wheel so many degrees and the road wheel turns as it is supposed

I recognize that an LSR car is a special case. In LSR, the reduction of frontal area is so important that it may warrant going to a quasi-tricycle configuration. I just wanted to point out the big c

OK seems Mayf says the inputs from the driver are one cause of instability, due to PIO (pilot induced oscillation) but he does not say that the car is unstable. maybe power assisted steering IS what

If I own something I'm most likely going to drive it fast... and I own 3 forklifts.... I know rear steer is ugly at speed.... no matter if I put it in or it's a design flaw... slow speed it's just ok

760+mph with rear steer aint a bad bench mark if ya can make it work at 760, then it CAN work at 175-200-300-400+ mph or the world is always flat unless you can see the curvature Joe :)
