1: Where your not utilizing the whole track, carry a little more speed through the turn and use all that track. 2: A chin mount for your camera would greatly reduce the constant wind drag. 3: On the long straights duck your head down, you can gain your top speed a little sooner and gain a little on your lap times. Other than that you're doing great!
That was a great video. Thanks for doing this. I really would like to get into this. Like many of the guys on here I grew up with a go kart. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Love the videos, could you perhaps explain more about the hand/ arm gestures, and about general setup possibilities (like f.e.toe in out, adding under/oversteer and why, can you adjust camber caster, wheelbase(with), etc.?) and explain why to apex early/ late in certain cornering circumstances, and how the rules to fold or pass are? Yep, I'm asking for almost the whole nine yards basically, I hope you might make a video about what I like to see, and perhaps I have forgotten other interesting Karting facts/ hints and tips you might want to share. Happy new year :)
My lo206 stays at 4300 rpm when I go full throttle but I gain speed. Would it be my clutch allowing for the rpm to stay the same and the speed to increase?
Thank you Doug Marsh of Rocketech Racing for CREATING the LO206 class!!!!!! I am sooo glad this is spreading!!!! I raced 206 in 2010 at Thompson Kart Raceway in Thompson Oh, the heart of it all and I am just now getting back into it. LOVE IT!!!!!!
From the looks of your RPMs i dont think you were using all the potential of the engine. You never once hit the rev limiter on the back straight. Add a tooth and you would prolly pull a little harder coming off the slow turns. I also noticed that you were dipping lower then 3400 rpms . I would try to stay above 3600rpm if you can. Gearing will definitely help you out.
baps2m I agree. Should just be bouncing off the limiter at the end of the straightaway with a 206. That will help you a lot. Try a 58 in the rear then a 60 if the 58 didn’t get it until you find it. You’ll see your times come down.
Well buy a good chassis, get an LO206 first and after learning the art of karting get something serious like an X30... if you haven't already done that since this comment is 1 year old.

It’s kinda of hard to remember that information but those little details can help a lot if done correctly
The cam douse isn't big enough to affect wind drag
Ducking don't really help either lol
@@zackaryneeley4591 There is wind drag. and ducking down the straights does help. Practice makes perfect! Watch how pro racers do it.
nasanction doesn’t air affect more a small fast object than a big slow moving one. Cuz if that is correct. The camera position and ducking will help
Hey man, I was the one that introduced myself after race, keep up the good videos! I enjoy the commentary during which many people don't do
Thank you, it was really good to meet you. Hope to see you at the next race!
Illegal Alien Racing just trying to get back into my fav childhood sport and get my kids into also. Good luck in future races
About to get into go carting, gonna start with speed track then hopefully go to 206 when I get the money
Never tried an LO206, I drive a 30hp Rok. How is it? Bet it's fun even if it's not the most powerful thing ever.
It's good fun. Definitely a great place to start if you're new. Teaches you to be consistent and keep the momentum going.

I plan on making videos on more complex subjects but I'll get DKC to help explain as I'm still learning myself. Thanks for the ideas!
This looks like so much fun, I think I might get one after some research
Depends what kart u like
If you like to go faster, get a Rok Gp or VLR 100, if you are a beginner get a Lo206

Most likely it's more along the lines of the torque required to maintain that rpm goes down.
Nice video
What clutch are you using?

Anyone know how those other karts had faster karts
Even a simple thing like ducking your head can change your lap times.
Weight
Lower gearing allowing them to get more rpm out if engine.
What kind of gearing did you use?
16 in the front, think I used a 56 in the rear for this race.

Don't talk and f
Race jus race
Why do you talk during a race shouldn't you be full focus
He did it just for you man. ;)
nasanction o sweet
Mate…he is doing it for us
I'm 14 I don't want to drive some boring 30 mph kart when I'm driving actual cars I wish I could use at least the 50 mph
Not everyone can afford expensive iame and rok engines
What's the point in buying a 50 mph kart, if you don't first know and learn how to use it on a 30 mph kart?
Well buy a good chassis, get an LO206 first and after learning the art of karting get something serious like an X30... if you haven't already done that since this comment is 1 year old.
I’m 14 and I drive a 60mph Lo206
For a 14 yr old like myself I would surely recommend a Rok Gp 125cc…best fun yet…
