Nice video. Do you get enough steering angle with the outer heim joints like that? In road racing at least the slip angle of the tire becomes an important aspect of ackerman. So even with zero/neutral/perfect ackermann your inside tire will still steer more than the radius of the inside curve and create that "braking/pivot-effect" because the outside tire with all the load on has maybe 7 degrees of slip angle on turn-in.
Great video Smitty. Question for ya on this. Say you have an Ackerman percentage that you are aiming for like 80%, how does that translate to where your steering attachment is located on your upright? I know that KPI is a part of it, however the length of your arm, the location of where it connects to the steering link is dependent on the amount of Ackerman you want.
Best explanation for Ackerman that I’ve seen yet. Thanks!

You did that very well, and nice to see how you made the brackets.
Cool, keep the videos coming Brad
Why in Anti Ackerman steering the outer wheel has more angle than the inner wheel
