Default Custom Car

Hi, I'm building a High Milage Vehicle for school and would like some ideas for setting up the steering. Our class kind of related the steering that we would like of that on on-road nirtro cars. It would help if someone could give us some simple diagrams or information of the most common steering setup found in on-road nitro cars. It could also be helpful if someone could give me some tips on tweaking a steering setup, such as, toe in and out, caster, and chamber.

Thanks!!!!

We start out by making a very light frame and then make it so it has very little rolling resitence. And the problem we have this year is redisgning the steering system.
