Ackermann steering
Engineers (Advanced), mission M4 Steering & Differentials, lesson 2 of 6.
Hook
Front wheels should NOT point the same way when turning. Weird… but true.
Fair test
Measure the inner and outer wheel angles at full lock with a protractor.
Bonus challenge
Draw lines from both front axles. Do they meet on the back axle line?
