    @Panthers4741 I probably should have mentioned the understeering at high speeds in the description. And yes you're right. The cause of the problem is the angel at which the wheel is mounted on the steering contraption. Due to that, the surface area of the tire gripping the ground decreases, letting it understeer. I tried to lessen this problem by allowing the rear tires to steer too, but in the opposite direction.
    Another problem might be, that the weight of the tricycle is mostly loaded on the rear axle, even more so during acceleration. that also lessens the grip of the tire in front.

    But I'm glad you still like it^^
