My 2019 slack wants 39 in rear track says right rear should be 1/8 to 3\16 off of frame rail do you measure this from wheel to frame? Also to you measure from the contact patch on the slick to get to 39 in. Thanks
Thank you what I did.Measure distance from wheel to frame rail.
Measure track from outside to outside of the contact patch.
Keep in mind that this is difficult to measure with some very round cut tires, Burris, etc.
Some chalk dust on the floor of your garage (or tires) and rolling the kart 6" with the driver in the kart, is a simple way to check this.

Are all frames the exact same width?Thank you what I did.
Track width and tread width are 2 different things.Rule book measures track width from outside of left wheel to outside of right wheel. That's a big difference from the contact patch method but, if you're a beginner, it won't hurt you to make it a little wider.

Track width is more relevant to road course type events, while tread width is more relevant to oval.
on a straight rail kart probably, on a dirt oval kart not soRule book measures track width from outside of left wheel to outside of right wheel. That's a big difference from the contact patch method but, if you're a beginner, it won't hurt you to make it a little wider.
