Interesting video. I've been in karting for 20+ years and I've always used a different setup to most other drivers but I've never really worked out why. I run KZ2 with Vega tyres here in New Zealand, and generally speaking I run a much narrower (front and rear) setup than most other drivers. Where most drivers are running 1397-1399 in the rear, I'm generally running 1390, and in the front I will often run as low as 1200-1210 where as most others are running way out at 1240-1250. Of course there are exceptions, and we all have different driving styles. I love how a wide front gives more stability on corner entry but I always struggle with exit understeer when I run the front too wide.

I have noticed in watching all kinds of videos from the UK that in the rain they get a lot of lift or jacking that stays up through the corner. What kind of setup are they using to do this? Thank you. Good luck with your 2023 season....

@brierleys Жыл бұрын

Extreme front caster and track settings. The wheels will be on their widest setting and the caster adjusters will be on full caster setting (with the king pin 'leaning back' as much as possible). The result is a lot of jacking from the inside front wheel a it presses down into the road.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried putting a differential on a kart? I mean there is clearly a benefit for it so why not? Is it going to weigh a lot more than the solid axle?

@breakingbeats Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video. I have a question about rear track width. When you decrease rear track width, that increases rear grip. (Hence, you decrease rear track in the rain.) And if you are suffering of too much rear grip on hot and sticky track, wouldn't that worsen your understeer issue (kart plowing forward) if you decrease rear track?? We have a lot of really really REALLY hot track days in Thailand. The kart would plow forward or rear hopping because of the massive amount of rear grip. We would adjust to this condition by widen track width or going with softer rear axle. I'm a bit confused on this topic. Thank you!

@strhhswgter Жыл бұрын

I live in Phoenix Arizona (USA) and we also have really hot days too. I am some what new but I believe the answer to your question is to widen the rear track width or reduce the front track width. I'm not 100% sure. We race at Phoenix Kart Racing Association (www.pkra.com/) What kart tracks do you race in Thailand and what kart or class do you race?

@autotempest Жыл бұрын

The reason you narrow the rear track width in the rain is because with a wet track you will have less grip overall; you will therefore be going into corners more slowly, and if you use your dry setup, won't be cornering fast enough to lift the inside rear. This will cause the kart to not want to turn properly, and it'll either plow forward or lose grip in the rear completely. So it's not exactly that a narrower rear increases rear grip, but as the video says, that it makes it easier to lift a rear. So IF you're in a condition where you're having trouble lifting a rear (because the track is wet, or the kart just isn't set up well), then it would help. But if you go too far in that direction, where you're lifting it more than necessary, that will also hurt rear grip, since the kart will be diving forward onto the front corner too much.

@FerencMarcz 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Red! I would like to start a smaller argument, that it is better to have a symmetrical setup. In my opinion, for most of the tracks, this is necessary, because there are almost the same amount of left and right-hand corners. I would like to say from experience that a couple of millimeters of differences is sometimes better if there are more corners of one type. As an example, if there are 12 right-handers and 8 left-handers, but this idea also depends on the characteristics of the corners (fast, medium speed, slow). What is your opinion on this?

@adamisaksson8473 2 жыл бұрын

I think most people run a symmetrical setup, since even if there aren’t alot of left handers for example you still want the kart to handle the same way it does in the right handers

Your understanding of the rear is completely wrong hahaha. Go to the gym, put one plate on each side of a bar. Then put the same plates on the each side of a shorter bar. You'll clearly learn the SHORTER bar flexes less. Which means an axle has LESS flex when wheels moved in.
