For drift use and intense race use. Works better with eliptical traction model. Very drifty

    @Johnnyynf alright. I will strengthen the suspension along with changing the traction

    @GrandPrix no
    The wheel base is too short to drift properly, and it snaps back way too fast or just entering uncontrollable spin.
    Because the rear wheel is rigid, it can't retain much rolling/side inertia and spins out due to a wheel leaving the ground

    I'm not too sure what to test for but here's my thought
    If not under acceleration100-200 km is pretty balanced, a bit on the oversteer side but controllable.
    Over 200 it's pretty understeery, and under 100 it pretty norovirus

    Btw it’s SimplePlanes physics that causing the problem. It supposed to work without extra joints

    The Ackerman angle was not working properly, I have add a display to show how much steering angle each wheel have and it's not doing it properly See this one
    I'm suspecting it's due to the steering linkage cannot articulate properly thus causing some funky steering.
    By using control base as a ball joint to solve this problem like this
    The steering system collapsing is another problem, just limit the steering angle or redesign the steering system
