Hi Derek, been watching your videos recently and man its been a huge learning experience, much appreciated for your time and efforts and will continue to support this channel. Im very new to karting but im not new to motorsports. Ive got a few off topic questions to ask, i've recently acquired a Swiss Hutless chassis with a Biland SA250 for recreational use and learning. Could chassis components be interchangable between brands? Could this kart be used for competing?
Hey Tommy, thanks heaps for the good vibes and for tuning in. most part will interchange as along as they have the similar dimensions from other brands. I haven't seen many Swiss Hutless karts for a few years, so I can't say for sure. however the Tony Kart parts are common and plentiful so maybe start there for replacement parts if you can't get the genuine version
i just switched to a OTK chassis and remembered this video and saw it again, how necessary do you think this kit is? compared to what the kart comes from factory, and is there a difference between this kit and the one from senzo? i saw they sell them but its much cheaper that the one from kartshop
They are expensive , but you get what you pay for. You can buy the Senso separately and the standard OTK ones. So the kit isn’t necessary, but a nice addition if you can stretch.
@@PowerRepublic thanks for the quick reply, i really appreciate all the information you provide, i even pasted the decals of my new kart thanks to you...again thanks for your help and your amazing attitude to share knowledge with that said i will save a little more and get the kartshop kit
they do both, increase the castor options available and make it easier to change them

Question : what is the best action camera for gokart, and how would you mount them? Been looking at Gopro Hero 9, Gopro Max, Dji Osmo action and Insta360 One R, here in Norway it's not allowed to mount to the helmet/chest, so needs to be boltet to the kart.
hero 9 is awesome IMO. and they have heaps for accessories too. The helmet cam CamBox are awesome too. great POV and the only 'safe' way to film with your helmet on. Check them out here..... cambox.eu/en/
I've been using an Osmo Action on my daughter's kart with great success for the last year and a half. We grabbed a GoPro rollbar mount, took the top half, and bolted that to the front faring. The stabilization on the Osmo works well. The only thing is the field of view is narrower than a GoPro but I like the more "true to life" perspective. :)
If I had a a rear heavy kart and I wanted more grip in the front. Would taking weight off the rear give more grip in the front or just less grip in the rear?
Hey Kev, I can't say for sure but if you did remove excess 'grip' off the rear, would that solve your understeer? my guess is yes. try it a see if that balances your kart out.
What size kingpin are those compatable with?? For my kart, i had to swap the 8mm kingpin to a 10mm when i upgraded the front brakes, so upgraded the caster/camber adjusters with a doubled set of dot 5, so i have adjustment at top and bottom. It allows for more independant adjustments of the castor OR camber. Theres a 3rd option to upgrade, thats the sniper caster/camber set up, which looks the best, and costs a small fortune.
Hey Christian, if you have single (top) adjusters and you want to switch to top and bottom, is there anything else you need to change? Or do you just have to swap the bottom fixed ones for adjustable ones? Thank you
yeah you can put adjustable in both top and bottom. I like to leave the standard one in the bottom as a reference. then I just change the top adjuster as necessary
Assuming you mean the Briggs 4 Stroke engine when you say LO206, I would suggest trying to run a 75 rear sprocket and seeing how that affects your top RPM, if its gone down further then try moving to a 71 rear instead, though if my tired mind serves me right you should(?) get more RPM relative to speed by increasing the sprocket size... in any case a tachometer or other datalogger should be able to give you an easy indication of how the sprocket size change is affecting your revs and you can fine-tune from there, hopefully this helps!
Can't help but cringe when proper race karts are called "go karts". Go Karts are those slow lawnmower engine powered steel things, not state of the art racing karts.

Interesting video, keep up the good work!
yo, thanks legend, have you been getting your reps in???
Great vid guys!
thanks bro !
Great video mate!
thank you and thanks for tuning in.

@@ThePsyenzyme anytime
Thanks for sharing!!
No problem 😊
Do these kits increase the amount of caster adjustment available compared to what comes standard on the 401rr or do these kits just make life easier?
they do both, increase the castor options available and make it easier to change them

Men man må fremdeles huske at man ikke kan kjøre med Goproen i løp for det om.
yeah the Go Pro has to be on the Nassau panel here in Australia

@@Digitalfiendscom thanks for the feedback my friend.
Hey Dez, do you know if these can these be used on an X6 cadet Arrow kart?
hey Al, nah they are not a direct replacement. you wold have to get mods done to fit these

this system is only compatible with OTK chassis right?
22mm castor pil holes are common in most karts these days, but yes these ones are designed for the OTK range of karts.
@@PowerRepublic nice thanks for the answer and for the great information you share on your channel

has both 8mm kits or 10mm kits

@@PowerRepublic Thank you Derek, you're the man. I thought I had to add more stuff... But now I'll definitely replace the bottom one.
@@Dabaiko anytime broski
hey im running 20/73 on a lo206, but im only reaching 5400 rpm, what should i do
Reed valves?
@@ruividal1971 sorry I’m kinda new to karting what’s that mean

@@leroijenkins1103 it was running around 6k rpm but it went down to 5400 in my pre final, I don’t think it’s the gear size
not sure if the 206b has reed valves (we have videos on how to check them if your interested ) as it is a 4 stroke engine
Can't help but cringe when proper race karts are called "go karts". Go Karts are those slow lawnmower engine powered steel things, not state of the art racing karts.
well yeah that is correct, are they are still around. But yeah, the modern racing karts are awesome little racing machines IMO.
@@PowerRepublic to me yeah, hire karts at hobby circuits and things like that. Each to their own though. Just not to my liking. .
