• Abstract:

  This study was conducted with the aim of designing the steering system for the prototype kart being developed by the Optimus Kart team. The ideal is to keep the 4-bar system as close as possible to the system proposed by Ackerman. The first step was to measure the bars of other karts and, based on this, make changes according to the errors found. A comparison was made between the error and the radius of the curve, and a decrease in error was observed with an increase in radius. The importance of the study lies in presenting the optimized arrangements and dimensions of the steering bars.
