It does steer from the rear . It now has a solid piece of carbon fiber where the servo mounts are installed and plenty of room for the receiver and data logger. The motor pod isreversed and mounted in frontactually like the real car andtraction is provided by a GMS T-BARand a reversed traction rod.Front drive axle is works like a spool which supposed to spin the tires equally. If in theory they do spin equally thecar should not have to use thesteering all that much becausethetraction of the front wheelsshouldpull the car nice and straight.If it works great ,if not I will be the first to say it not the right way to do it. I will wait till the car runs before I make an hasty judgement. I will let the car do the talking.

in theory...indeed. But there is more to going straight in drag racing then just the drive wheels both turning equally. I think the problem with rear steering is gonna be making any kind of corrections after it leaves. Being electric... that thing is likely to hit the tires very hard, unless you will be using a programmable esc where you can soften the hit a bit and control the rollout.
Getting the car lined up in the groove correctly, and just how hard it tries to hit the tires, and what it does 20-30ft will play a big roll in just how straight the car actually goes.
I like the project though. What kind of times are you shooting for?
