What motors are you using for steering?
We are adding bumper supports as we have an inch of play on the outside of the frame each way. The bumpers will be added tonight, there will be 6 inches on either side of the large opening on the front and the sides and back will be completly covered. We call it the golden ratio.

For the steering we are using a 1:1 ratio with the window motor. It may be too fast so we may tone it down.
