@racing promotor here is the scale numbers. Still not got the camber asking around the track to see if anyone has the gauges with them
Nose is little low 46 %, at over 300 lb total weight Left and cross could be increased to 56 %, for that chassis to start out it's fine that there the same, once he gets some quality seat time increase cross 3 %, BUT those changes needed are not causing the loose condition that's the track just not being prepared and him driving it like he stole it having fun, cambers should be 2.5 neg RF and .5 pos LF.@racing promotor here is the scale numbers.

the last picture I posted is what I'm going to try to get his numbers to. His numbers as it currently sits isFrom my Weigths & Percentages spreadsheet. It shows the rear cross to be light. This after adding 6 pounds to RF.

Yeah i can't remove any weight, just add more if neededOf course it depends on how you go about adding at 6 pounds to the RF. Are you going to subtract at 6 pounds from one of the other 3 corners, or one corner, or 2 corners? My spreadsheet allows you to do "what if" very easily. As an experiment, I added the anticipated 6 pounds to the RF and subtracted 3 pounds each from the LF and the LR. You can do that all day long and see all the possibilities.
What do you mean by adding washers? the spacers in the front spindles?You don't adjust cross by moving weight, you move washers to adjust cross, there is NO such thing as rear cross, only numbers you need to worry about is nose %, left %, cross % which is RF and LR, and proper caster and cambers.
yes i believe that's what he means, two washers on the right bottom to the top should get you the 3%, dont quote me but Promoter will definitely give you the right infoWhat do you mean by adding washers? the spacers in the front spindles?
Yes you got it, on the RF pulling washers off the bottom moving to top will add cross, on the LF it's just opposite to add cross.yes i believe that's what he means, two washers on the right bottom to the top should get you the 3%, dont quote me but Promoter will definitely give you the right info
Not adding washers MOVING washers, yes washers on king pin bolt.What do you mean by adding washers? the spacers in the front spindles?
you can't add weight to adjust cross you'll change your other numbers which will change you % ages.Yeah i can't remove any weight, just add more if needed
I don't understand, assuming somebody tells you what percentages to run, front, left, cross, how do you know what to make each corner weigh to achieve those percentages, with your kart and driver weight?Al NOBODY racing ovals cares what the corners weigh. its all about the percentages.
