Rear wheel drive cars are much more prone to this. It’s inherently quite safe, as the speed is scrubbed off, and as long as there’s enough road, the tires will eventually grip and turn the car the way you want! Oversteer This happens when the back end of the car slides away from the direction of the turn. Most modern cars are front wheel drive and they tend to understeer. You can feel the tires scrubbing against the tarmac. Understeer happens when the front of a car tends to go straight on when you turn the wheel into a corner. Unlike a car the rear wheels do not have a differential but are locked together and always spin at the same speed, this requires some cleaver engineering to make the inside rear wheel lift of the ground when turning and allowing the front of the kart to turn in. If you don't get it right you Kart will not turn but plough straight ahead. Getting the steering geometry correct on your Kart is one of the most important consideration when designing the frame.
