where were you sitting in that prototype? how far from the front wheels?
how far from the rear wheels? what was the vehicle weight? how much weight
on the front wheels? on the rear? did you still have pilot induced
oscillation? was that vehicle fwd? what size/hp motor? turbo?if very high
hp or turbo, could that have been a contributing factor in the inability to
steer? (causing too fast a response for the driver to control?) I'll bet me
and mayf would like to see pics....video would be even better....
