Had to share with everyone, Got an idea I wanted to have some front wheels turning into the corner while drifting. I built a special brass chassis, and adapted an new old stock Strombecker Ackerman set up to it, and built a custom guide. I hope to have a video of this action as soon as I figure out how to do it again, But this works! and is cool as it gets coming out of turn 4!!

Awesome Bob... Looks amazing.
I've been kicking ideas around since we chatted about it but have been distracted lately due to the job thing..
Need to figure out the easiest 'home made' way to get this look as it's so cool!

That IS very cool. I really like that look of that thing coming out of the corner with the wheels turned. Jim

It just occurred to me that the guy that makes the Chase Cars, also does steerable front ends if anyone is looking and can't find the ackermans.

Chappy, I hope to duplicate these front end parts in brass. I don't know how long this setup will last, we race pretty hard around here! I gotta tell ya though, this thing is a blast to drive! I have noticed that every once in a while, it gets a bit of traction, and lifts the left front wheel a bit! I have to have more of these..

I quit thinking, and went into test mode :lol: If it worked like I wanted, then it will be worth the trouble to do in Brass, It is sooo worth the trouble!
