Would castering rear wheels with mass (engine?) forward be simpler?

- sokoloff 4y agoI think you want non-castering rear wheels, because you want the side forces to be generated when the vehicle is yawing with relation to the direction of travel. As the sled starts to spin, non-castering rear wheels will tend to oppose the spin. (If anything, you might even want to set the rear wheels fixed and slightly askew [toed-in] to increase the drag while traveling in a straight line [with near-zero yaw angle].)
