Just building my own Prokart from chassis - very very helpful!

nice really helpful. Thanks.

Why would raising the front ride height increase the front end grip, cause a little bit more weight transfer to the front? Can someone explain the physics of that please?

[@thejuice2744]

My 7 years old Son needs more rear end grip, I've lowered the rear of the chassis & the front end is also really low, what would help us please.

[@christianbuczko1481]

Loosen rear bumper abit if its tight, maybe adjust caster/camber settings, or upgrade the caster adjusters to run a set top and bottom to give precise caster/camber adjustments. Last idea is check the karts loaded center of gravity, and add lead weights or move seat forwards or backwards to adjust the CoG forwards or backwards.

It’s usually the opposite of what he said, higher front end lower rear = more rear grip less front = more under steer. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around how raising the front on a cart would give it more grip maybe I don’t understand the dynamics of kart ride weight transfer dynamics?

@@Mr.Wednesday. depends if you only do on front or rear , or both sides... and in which part of the corner you will expirience the effect, trying is the best option

Will that affect caster/camber?

It will not affect Caster or Camber.
