I swear you are highly underrated in karting your video are way more helpful then others
I’m a noobie here and these videos are great for us because there’s not as much info out here for these as other hobbies. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
You're doing a great job, technical videos like this are super valuable for karting. Keep it up!
Excellent video. This has been really helpful, thank you for making this video 🏁👍🏻👌🏼
That is the coolest explanation about kart engeeniering i've ever watch. Putting like that makes me want to get one of those.
Well done.
Mate, that’s a fantastic video. I learned so many valuable tips that most people wouldn’t discuss. Well done!
Great video! Thank you for this!
nice! we need more of these vids 🔥
Ngl, I'm always learning watching your videos, love it
Super video ! Meer van deze technische video please… Zeer waardevol voor ons als beginners
thank you. such a great and simple explanation. 👌👍
Pretty good video! Thank you for the tips got to try it out
THANKS FOR THIS LESSON IT WAS VERY USEFUL.BEST WISHES.
awesome videos . ! ! !Thanks for sharing.excellant teaching,easy to understand.5 stars ! ! !
Excellent video!
Thank you for this video I never understood how the rear hubs could be adjusted to make a change
Keep it up with these videos they are really good
Thank man!
Goeie video’s bro ❤️
fantastic.. !
great!!!
Thanks for the details, noobie to kart racing and this was helpful. In practical experience, how difference does pushing the heel bar really make? I "feel" like it helps turn-in but might just be a placebo effect! Subscribed and will watch your other videos.
Good video, please make a video about camber alignment
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 prefer a wider kart, bit everyone has their preference of course
KZ2 is so vastly different from non gearbox karts, the values are really incomperable
Hey I really think you should come to idube raceway in south Africa for some awsome karting
What do you put on the steering column, between the 2 steering rod supports ? Just some blue electrical tape ?
I'm in America so we're on inches vs mm but I'm assuming the concept and geometry is the same. I've been racing karts for a few years but took 10 years off so now getting back into it and gotta catch up on my setups. Thanks!!!

Becouse he is a driver and he also working on garage as MECHANIC and its a best way to became a champion someday.
How important is it to adjust toe and camber with the driver in the kart or weight?
Solta traseira geralmente cubo de alumínio cambagem pode andar toda fechada e mesmo assim a frente solta
Hey do you balance your wheels ?? thanks
Hola un gusto ..cual es el SET UP de avance o inclinación de perno de punta de eje ..
in the standard track width the front is smaller or larger than the rear track width?
How tight to I make the tires on?
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?
Hey I want to join the discord server to learn more but I don't now were to find it I already have discord I just don't now were the link is
ayy
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....
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.
do the 5mm rings (smaller ones) have a bevel too like the 15mm?
Nope, they don't
Thank you ! No spacers for the rear ?
Nope. Spacers will make your axle longer
@@RedExions thank you. But how does that make any difference ?
Super 👍👍 when are you gonna get a CRG.. 😉 I wanna see tips on that 🙏
Uhm, never ;). OTK is the best option in my opinion
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!
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?
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.
@@strhhswgter I have two boys kart racing - 10 and 12 years old. One just moved up to mini and the other to junior. They started karting in Thailand. But we are currently living in Florida. They go to Orlando Kart Center a lot, and soon we will try to go to Homestead as well.
You can check out some of the tracks we have been to on their UA-cam channels.

@@autotempest Got it!! Thank you for your explanation. That makes sense!
Pneu do torres kkkk
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?
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
Why are the inches on your tape measure so close?
Because they're centimeters
Bro ain’t no way
First
Your understanding of the rear is wrong….the narrower you go the more grip you will have
I agree. Most people seem to get this wrong. Axle bend is increased with wider track.
No, wider = more grip, look the formula of weight transfer.
the narrower the more rigid the rear
@@turtletrading4207plain wrong
@mursie you are plain wrong that's how physics worms he has more of a contact patch if there is a bigger width meaning you guessed it more grip
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.
