just trying to finish the design of me chassis, and dont want to end up fouling the turnyness of the wheels with any of my triangulation so was just wondering what is the optimal (if any) angle of the front wheels at full lock.

Cheers,


Russ.

30deg left and right (60deg total) works well for me.

"turnyness"

Thanks Russ, I'm sure that'll be finding its way into the next Oxford English dictionary.

Turnyness is my new favourite word!
I would concur with 30 degrees of turnyness for road-going cars.

lol, i really should come back to my post more often. wasnt sure what to call it and turnyness seemed to have all the necessary descriptive components

I should have added it depends somewhat on wheelbase. That is if you have a long car it'll need to turn more for the same radius, while an 80" wheelbase Mini would need much less for the same turn.

good point that is. im not building a limo tho, the wheelbase is 2400 so 30degrees should be fine i think.

cheers,
