Default steering angle

I know there are ways of doing it and know people have done it to other cars. My idea is that I would like to give drifting a try and use the locost as my drift car and having more angle helps in drifting do you understand now

dont know about your car but on mine if i could turn the steering any more the wheels would hit the side panels.

if you want it to drift really easily just put loads of camber on the rear wheels

I'm still in the build process so not sure how it will be but I will have to take a look at it so that I make sure it don't touch

Oh right I understand now, you won't get more out of the escort rack without the wheels clouting the car. I would say like Ash mentioned, mess about with the rear and use rubbish tyres

Well if that's the case that the tires will touch then its not a problem I'm sure many drifters do it without more steering angle oh well SIDEWAYS IT IS LOL !!!
