VERY nice work! the front end was designed for 10* caster but of course you'll set it as you see fit. we will need more pics though!! video would be nice as well.

For now, it turns like it's on rails.To begin with, I was having troubles, I was used to cranking the wheel and plowing for 25 feet before it started to turn. Video will be forth coming, have to find something besides the pos gopro quick software.

Caster is what increases straight line stability. The more the caster,the more straight line stability you will have . Caster aids in turning also at the price of steering effort increasing as more caster is added. Can you explain how excessive caster in the beam would make the front plow?

It had way to much caster, it was easier to put the A-arms on than redo the beam.
do i spy power steering?? Ultra Fast Keto Boosti really like how you blended it into the chassis! the rail as a whole looks very stout! nice work.
