1 (X): Ideal Steer Angle deg The outside wheel steer angle required to produce a turn radius equal to the turn radius produced by the inside wheel steer angle. It is calculated with the following equations:
When the Vehicle is Steering Right

inner = (right toe-in)/rtod

turn radius = track/2-(wheel base)/tan(inner)

ideal steer angle = -atan((wheel base)/ ((turn radius)+track/2))*rtod

When the Vehicle is Steering Left

inner = -(left toe-in)/rtod

turn radius = track/2+(wheel base)/tan(inner)

ideal steer angle = -atan((wheel base)/ ((turn radius)+track/2))*rtod
