Pseudo's Build, aka - Physics, Yo!
 

Introduction

Hi guys, I'm sudo.

I am hoping that this thread will be used to discuss vehicle kinematics in a way that teaches myself and others some of the physics behind tuning and performance driving. I will lay out this thread in several sections, my actual build, and a section on engineering that I pick up along the way. I hope that it ends up helping others understand more about the dynamics of racing!
