This message was originally sent to James at Phantom, but decided to post it here so I can get more input. So disregard that it was directed just towards him. Thanks guys!
Good evening,
I’ll start by saying thank you for any help you can provide. I have an 08 phenom, run on dirt only tracks that seem to have a bite issue. Usually dry dusty and slick, or “cleaner” dry slick. I run a limited modified animal on Hoosier treads. Tire sizes are: LF-11x5.5x6. RF-11x6.5x6
LR-11.5x8.0x6. RR-11.5x9.0x6
Front Stagger @ 1-3/8 — 1-1/2”
Rear stagger @ 1”
Rear tires are on 10” rims not sure on front but stagger out decent. Not sure if there will be any issue with the rear tires having 1/2” taller tires, or any adjustments I can make to help the rake rate change.
I have not scaled this kart out yet, but will be this next week (wed) and would love a good base line setup for two tracks.
One track is a dirt 1/10 mile practically no banking and I’d say medium sweeping turns either wet/soft or dry slick. Necessary to let off for 2 seconds entering turns.
Second track is a 1/4 dirt track FLAT and long straights with tighter turns. Also usually exact opposites, over watered, or dry and dusty. Little bite . I weight 250 lbs and 6’2”. My seat is currently aligned well, but is 10-1/4” off of the top of the axle. Any changes I can make to help the kart handle my height and weight better?
If sure I am leaving out a few important details, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m more than happy to answer any additional questions.
Thanks,
Tim Carr
