Would anyone have an opinion if thees numbers look anywhere close for a rookie red plate on an old ultramax element?
We're at about 239 with driver being 45 pounds of that. 1 1/4 front stagger 1 1/8 in rear. LF .5 Camber, RF -2.75, 6psi on left 7 on rights
We were on
F 46.6 L 51.9 C 62.4
LF 43.4, LR 81, RF 68.5, RR 47.1
Have trouble keeping 6 year old in groove, had tendancy to enter corner way to shallow then exits high with wheel cranked and kart snaps loose. And after smacking the wall pretty good he has been more tentative and stabbing brake at corner exit. He said it felt like it wouldnt turn center off so last race we lowered the LF by 2 washers, and moved LR out a 1/4 inch, and got to here when scaled after the race
F 46.5, L 51.9 C 59.5,
LF 46.8, LR 78, RF 65, RR 50.6
He said it felt about the same though he was making a better arc through corners and I could hear that he was in throttle more.
I am as new to this as he is, just trying to find a baseline setup that he can comfortabling control to get experience staying on racing line around other karts. Watching it seems like some of the other kids barely have to turn the wheel where from center off he is about full lock, to me it seems like kart is on LR and the front end isn't really working.
Should we try moving more washers on LF/RF to reduce cross further? Like to around 52-53%? Any input appreciated.
