It was surprisingly easy to drive. It had a double stacked omni on the front to turn. We drove forward on the small wheels, and turned when we rotated the wheel. we originally had Ackerman steering, but it never returned to center 100%. Using the omni, straight was straight. The rear axle was solid, but turning lifted the inside wheel, just like in a go-kart, so drag losses while turning were limited. It was a lot of fun to drive.
