just wanted to know the DFP is 900 degrees so that is a full 1.5 wheel rotation to the left and 1.5 rotation to the right correct? and the momo is 240 degrees? or 270? i forgot and how many turns to the left/right is it? im guessing like close to a half? was also wondering how much does a wheel spin on a average car?.
thanks

Uh, you do know that there are 360 degrees in a complete rotation right?

Don't bash me anyone, I'm having fun explaining all this... Yeah, I know... Something's wrong with me...

And 1.5 Rotations to the left and 1.5 Rotations to the right would be:
1.5 x 2..... which equals three. (3).

Now, 3 x 360 would be 1080. (1080 degrees).

So since the DFP is 900 degrees and a normal car which has a 3 revolution steering wheel, then the DFP must not be able to do the same as a normal car.

The DFP can only do 2.5 rotations (900/360=2.5)

Sooo, that means that each way, the DFP will rotate 1.25 times, or 450 degrees.

Just because people can't remember the basic maths they were taught at the age of 4 doesn't mean you can bite their heads off.





Oh, wait a minute... yes it does!

Now don't call me sick or anything but..

I did want to bite his head off to start with. That's not the sick part.

What happened, is that I actually really enjoyed explaining it.
I don't know how it happened, I have been sick lately, so maybe that is the cause.

Nobody'll ever know!
