Awesome video as always, I have a good one for you could you explain your thoughts on the rear axle heights where most manufacturers have multiple holes to adjust rear ride heights. also, my PRC's have the pills what happens when you change them. Or is that a chassis adjustment set and then left alone. Once again thanks for sharing all your great knowledge.
@@kart6t3_ben yes. Adding or taking away rear axle hight from left to right. Also adding rear lead would be a fantastic video. Thanks Ben for all the hard work you do for the community. It’s highly appreciated.
I have a couple of Manco go karts with live axles. For some reason the right side has a 1" longer spacer than on the left side...so the wheel sticks out more on the right. The left side includes the drive chain and brake rotor. Do you think the longer spacer in the left is to even out the torque that comes from the right? Thanks in advance!
That’s possible. Usually longer distances from frame rails are used for handling characteristics. Spread further less drive, but helps turn. If it was done for a torque aspect it’s hard for me to figure that out.
good day sir bin watching your videos and racing for the last wo years love your content an cant wait for more clone class content now that your running a clone kart this season as thats what ive bin running and well be nice to close the gap from your open class
Ben is gear ratio just gear ratio or is the an advantage/ disadvantage to running a small front sprocket with small back sprocket over a larger front and back?
Maybe to much front weight? Loose in and off suggest to much steer. Or over all grip, also might want to try evening out you air pressures and see if it helps.
I havnt. I’ve seen it done. My thoughts are that’s gotta be some pretty slick surface your dealing with if you need to go to that. It would mess with that “lever” I was talking about. Imo.

So glad I found this channel. Looking forward to learning.
So glad you’re here. Hope I can help.
I haven't kart raced since 2011 . I appreciate you doing these videos as it refreshes many things I have forgotten , thanks .
No problem. Glad you like them.
I like the idea that you used a sharpie to mark your hub placement. Thanks for the video.
I should have made a point to mention it but yes works great.
I used tape due to the dirt

I’ll see what I can do. 👍
I’m still very excited to hear how you explain rear “wedge” and the affects 😊
Are we talking about dropping say a LR rail? Wedge in nascar terms is cross to us. Just wanna make sure I’m understanding you correctly.

Always good information and thanks for it
Thanks for watching!
Moving out decreases stagger effect an easier to pick up.. closer is snspier transfer and increase stagger effect.
Good perspective to keep in mind.

Thank you very much. I quite excited.
hey I was wondering if you could explain how I can figer out what axle size i would need for my kart like i whould i mesure it
Sorry I havnt responded. I keep forgetting to check my axle for you. I’ll take a screenshot and hopefully get back to you soon.
Hey if u have a Saturday with no scheduled race wed love to have u come race at Moose mtn in Hastings Ny in r 2 stroke open class.
Maybe sometime. Use to race Randy years ago at paradise.
I think that idea is measured off the centerline of the kart to get that lever action you are talking about
Yes. But what reaction causes what is the question. I’m open to different theory’s.
Ben is gear ratio just gear ratio or is the an advantage/ disadvantage to running a small front sprocket with small back sprocket over a larger front and back?
There is a small change in torque when using a bigger driver. Smaller driver “spools up” quicker. In theory.
Driver is complaining of loose in off power. In general, what things would you do to fix that?
Maybe to much front weight? Loose in and off suggest to much steer. Or over all grip, also might want to try evening out you air pressures and see if it helps.
Have you gotten a copy of oval kart technology book by frank Ashe yet?? Interesting read and does a good job discussing chassis flex theory.
I do. I’ll have to look for that, unfortunately I started to read it and got busy. 🤦♂️
have you ever put a 10" wheel on the left rear to increase grip?
I havnt. I’ve seen it done. My thoughts are that’s gotta be some pretty slick surface your dealing with if you need to go to that. It would mess with that “lever” I was talking about. Imo.
What effect does keeping the same rear track width but moving both tires left or right at the same time
Wow. Never have thought of that scenario. I’d have to think on that.
