| I am curious if anyone has ever seen a Landy or non-landy in action with the steeringwheels at the back, and no steering in front. Seems it's easier in a trial, but never seen it before. I'm asking it this way because 4 wheel steering is not allowed. | |

Sounds ideal for the back seat driver! | |

| No! But a very interesting thought - maybe, just maybe ... | |

| Rear steer will only work at slow speeds!
If you do any sort of speed the way the caster angles work with trailing steering you will have jacknifes and rollovers all over the place....
Some DIY shops have trolleys with single steer wheels at the back and it is nice for getting around the corners but in a straight line it just weaves all over the place - truely horrible.....
Much better to have a vehicle that wants to go straight and with the caster and Kingpin angles being set the faster you go the straighter it wants to stay ;o) | |
