I need some advice on front geometry. To start out, my adult son has been playing with an old riding lawn mower (think free to maybe $50 on Craigslist type) for running over ice. He has changed the pulleys to get a top speed of maybe 15-20 MPH. The front beam axle has been destroyed so he will be making a new one. He was asking me about geometry. Lawn tractors are a strange breed for front suspension, for sure. Again, the intended use is on ice. My suggestion was to keep the KPI at 0, Camber 0, Toe in 0. The reason is there will be no grip to start with, and no appreciable lean in corners. I'm thinking keep as much tire as possible flat on an ice pond. One of his buddies is now building his own ice monster and another buddy is looking for one to join in the fun. I'm sure the 4tth will join in suit. It is going to become competitive instead of just fun.
Any ideas?
