Getting a tach now but putting it on your kart would be a big help to your son for when he's ready to be on optimal gearing.Thanks for reaching out to me again......no i do not use a tach i run the same track every time... I've just learned to listen to the motor and see were it reaches its max... if it reaches too early then i go down one tooth size in the rear sprocket at a time till it seems like its pulling all the way down the straight before floating the valves... I think i get around 5200=5300 rpm.
...... as far as a tach for my son I'm planning on buying him one but he is still not driving hard enough during the race. letting off early and getting into the gas late...... just an idea if you want more info i can email you a short video clips of the karts on the track or i'll give you my phone number if you want to ask more detail questions either way i appreciate your help.
i run the an adult class with predator 212cc with a stage 1 kit.... there is class called the flat karts they run unlimited motor and slick tires, but don't know what they run as far as gearing, not too many of those maybe 8 kartsGetting a tach now but putting it on your kart would be a big help to your son for when he's ready to be on optimal gearing.
Do they race Sr clones there ? Or any adult classes, if so which and do you know there gearing ?

I understand not wanting to throw $200 into a karting tach that you're getting by without. Just be aware (I wasnt aware of these until recently) that there are several affordable hour meter/tachometers out there that do max recall. I've never tried these but struck me as a reasonable tool for racers on a budget. Here's a link to one, but there are several like it:

There's very few things in this world that I hate more than having somebody talk down to me. Let's leave it at that.
i got one and while it was ok for reading max rpm its not worth dropping the $25 on for what we are wanting to learn. Save up find a used mychron for 200-250 with all the leadsI understand not wanting to throw $200 into a karting tach that you're getting by without.
