Modified Ackerman steering

Attention Countersteer Drifters !

This is very inportant set up to Countersteer Drifting, I think.
I am easy to have come to make control terrible by having regulated Ackerman

About Ackerman

How to mod Adjust Ackerman

I moved a position of ball stud of bell crank plate to the front.

I cut rear brace in half and put on ball stud.
And I put together with a screw and epoxy.
I sharpen the middle of bell crank plate

D1 Drivers drift RC


My buddy just came back form Japan's Hyper Festival and brought me back a Yokomo magazine they were handing out. It has some cool articles about D1 drivers like Tanaka, Koguchi, Suenaga, etc. I scanned them to share... Now if someone can read in Japanese and tell me what they are saying, I'd appreciate it...LOL.
