DETROIT posted:I have been wondering what the magic radius is so that 21" cars don't badly overhand the curves. The largest I have is O82 which they overhang badly. It appears that at O100 or greater, your radius of 50", it doesn't look terrible.
Does anyone have a precise answer, at what point does severe overhang stop with 21" cars?
Measure the truck wheelbase (truck center to truck center) and multiply it by four. That should give you a good idea for use with body-mounted couplers. The bare minimum multiplier is three. Obviously, bigger radius is better for appearance and operation. Even with 48" radius, there's quite a bit of overhang on a 21-inch car.
Hope this helps.
