Jul 1, 2024 #3 3DDave Aerospace May 23, 2013 10,689 The most downward location of a the track wheel contact point will be the pivot location, so that would be the best place to calculate the moment. However, in a more general sense, if the vector sum of the forces through the CG passes over that contact point the unit will tip over. The limit case is determined by the amount of friction to allow the suggested deceleration rate. Upvote 0 Downvote
