Some suck it and see then!
I’ll set it up straight to begin with, with an eye to making adjustable rack positioning possible.
Thinking of my mental health, hoping I don’t get it wrong and suffer Ackermanic Depression!

Hi,
Greetings from rainy Spain.
New to cyclekarts, but love building things that can take you from one place to another.

I'm recently discovering cyclekart world and wanting to learn a lot about it and eventually buid my own.
Thanks.

I'm in Tamworth Staffs so not too far away either. Always on for a chat and a cuppa if you want. Being semi retired anytime sort of works.

Ah, that old Ackerman topic, it comes up quite often. None of the racing cars I have been involved with for over 50 years use it. It doesn't even get mentioned in most racing suspension references. All sorts are used. The dirt oval cars that slide a lot use reverse ackerman, the Formula Fords I was involved with had zero. Always your decision, IMHO nothing is totally correct, nothing is totally wrong.
Rack position can affect bump steer, that's much more important to get as near zero as you can. Build in a means of adjusting, and play, the best way to learn what works is by experimenting.

Moving the rack forward or rearward of a straight line on plan wheels straight ahead, take off point to rack to take off point alters Ackerman positively or negatively - see drawing below. So you have a little to play with if you want to get it bob on. I doubt it will amount to much difference in feel but if you are a purist, this avenue is open to you.
