Go to Post To the best engineers, scientists, and thinkers, something that is "hard" isn't something to avoid; it is something that begs for us to prove that we can do it. STEM is built on the very idea of trying something, failing, and trying something different. - Bryan Herbst [more]

We haven't experienced any turning problems, but one of the things we are hoping to look into this summer is playing around with the drop amount.
I'm surprised you could get to 1/16 drop without experiencing drag. The diffierence between 5/32 drop and 1/8 becomes more apparent in 1.5" - 2" wide wheels, but it should still be a factor in 1" wheels. Could you provide more information (pictures or CAD models, maybe?) on your 2013 and 2014 drives?
