I just bought a phantom chassis and the guy says he thinks its a gauntlet how can I tell?

 

[hotrodmod]

Gauntlets have a straight front axel, no bend at all....

If you run consistently in the back is another way to tell. Terrible chassis. No matter what numbers you put in it, it will do what it wants.

Yes gauntlet's front bar is straight from left to right of the chassis but it does have bends up and down.The gauntlet played a key role in the revolutionize of the "modern day" chassis.If phantom knew what they know now the gauntlet's history would be a lot different.They was the "unicorn" the first to try and build the "modern day" chassis.As it being a "terrible" chassis we had great success with the gauntlet we won 2 us all star championships at dumpling valley.In the late 90's this series attracted the very best in karting.300-500 karts at every event.I have said it before and I will scream it till I die YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING FAST ON DIRT IF YOUR DETERMINED ENOUGH.

If you're smart enough!! I imagine a lot of work goes into introducing a new style kart. If it was knowingly, (by them) bad, you would think they would know, so why would they introduce it? I'm thinking; their design stream probably got just a little too deep for their users ability to adjust to it.
