Doing some more research here. I am finding through some cad work that the geometrical center of a car (aka the mid point between the longest points of overall length do not coincide with the geometrical center of the vehicle drive track rectangle. That seems odd in my brain but maybe that is normal?
First let me define what I mean by the drive track rectangle. Say you have a vehicle with a 95 niche wheel base and 55 inch track. If you made a rectangle on the ground with those points you would find a center of the rectangle.
Im finding in some of my cad models, in order for the wheels to be center in the wheel wells, the center of what would be the wheel base / track rectangle is not truly at the center of the body. Is that normal? Am I thinking to much into this? Seems to be off by about an inch in some cases.
