I have a 2019 prc deuce Things I read and watch say by adding cross will loosen the kart up Don’t understand that IHow is that possible I know tires and stagger will do that Thanks
The simple of it is: ?!?!?!?????
The reason your kart or anything you race becomes loose is because the RR tire looses grip. period. end of quoting me. ...
Factors which allow or cause the RR to loose grip are many.
First up you'll hear bout too much grip up front causing loose.
... well each of the rears can only drive straight and then stagger helps them together not drive straight.
... but each individually can only drive or propel in a "straight" direction.
... because of that the fronts have to turn the backs.
... If you have too much grip/turn/etc up front then you are able to increase the conflict between the RR tire in the back only being able to go straight and the front trying to turn it.
... If the fronts can win the conflict then the RR if it's already on it's limit has to become loose and slide because of loss of grip.
... yada yada yada and now that your a believer in the bull I just wrote ...
There's also the LR helping hold the back end in with it's grip.
If the LR looses grip then all the effort available to hold the back end in and not be loose automatically is put to the RR.
... and the RR can't do it alone so it looses grip and ya get loose.
Cross by definition is a reading of weight put on or to be carried by tire grip of the RF and LR. right???
yep that's right
Jack up cross and the LR is either going to be able to carry the load or it's not.
Jack up cross to the point the LR can't carry it's weight and ... then see and read again my bull about the only reason your loose is because the RR can't carry all the load in the back by itself. ...
Your answer is there is a point where if you put more cross to it, it becomes possible for the weight the LR carries exceeds it's grip.
The LR looses it's grip, pukes on the RR.
The RR can't handle the puke and it too looses grip and ya get loose.
The ONLY reason you can be loose is if the RR looses grip and starts sliding.
Don't matter if the LR is still able to carry some weight and have grip you STILL exceeded the capability of the RR and ya got loose.
... maybe because this is all IMHO and ain't necessarily right anyway. ...
hope I did ok?????
