What do you guys think of the concept of rear wheel steering on a front wheel drive car? Im not talking about 4-wheel steering. only the rear wheels. The front wheels would be locked. There is a car out there that does it. The Peugot 20cup. It only has one wheel in the back though, kinda looks like a motorcycle. Supposedly it handles really well. I know how forklifts handle, I used to drive them. But surley there is a way to do it where it handles really good and is not dangerous at high speeds. The idea has completley fascinated me. I want to try it. I think first I'll try building a go-kart with the set up. I dont know, maybe I'm wasting my fuc*ing time, but to me it makes more sense to have the rear wheels steer on a fwd car. It would have a better weight distribution and it would take alot of the work off the front tires. Maybe even having the car with a rear engine setup where the front wheels pull and the rear wheels steer. Just want to hear other peoples opinions good or bad. Maybe even some ideas that would help me.

QUOTE(croneathone @ Sep 28, 2005 - 2:16 PM) Have any of you seen the Peugot 20cup? And its not really like driving in reverse because your not going backwards. The thrust scc uses it. It broke the sound barrier. If any one has any details on it or anything good to say then please write. [right][snapback]339121[/snapback][/right] I've seen that var/motorcycle. It doesn't really turn with the rear wheels if it's the one I'm thinking of. Doesn't it lean? The back wheel might turn a little, but it's mostly turned by hydrolics making the car lean. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
