Scary steering idea via Airport delay

[69LC]

ok, so I’ve been delayed going home and started sketching.

I know we try to get rid of extra pivots and joints in our steering systems, but considering what holds up in desert racing, give me some thoughts on this sketch.

I’ve wondered for years if there could be an effective way to have lots of suspension travel and still have mechanical steering without bump steer.

Flame away!

Hmm looks interesting. Give it a shot and let us know! lol

what, no colored crayons? You need to find an airline that has colored crayons!

now draw some more with it cycled through a few possible axle, and steering positions. I cant picture how this will work and stay stable as the axle articulates.

I’m thinking a go cart would be a good test mule.

Looks like it will work, give it a shot

Looks pretty similar to a TTB steering setup to me. Maybe slightly prone to bump steer

I bet you bend the secondary "Drag link" Putting all the stress in the middle of it is a sure recipe.

If I ever tried to build it I would make sure that it could handle the stress in key areas. It was just a simple sketch...
