Anyone have problems with there chassis not being very consistent it's either unbeatable or pushes very badly it seems to be very tire pressure sensitive
Sounds like you started off without scaling it, your lucky there is any point where it's anywhere close.It still pushes when the track hasn't dusted off but not as bad I need to get it on the scales to give everyone my #'s but I also probably need to find out what #'s I should run I weight 165 need to weigh 375 adult clone I have the RF spindle center and LF I started with the spindle all the way up with only 2 washers on top for the most cross and then changed it to the middle on the LF didn't seem to notice much of a difference to help to push
Only go to cross for minor tweak, look else where for bad handling issues to be adjusted.I messed with the LF to take out cross like no goats says the take the entry Push away
Everyone goes through this at times, It's not the chassis it's the set up, you really need to get on scales asap.Anyone have problems with there chassis not being very consistent it's either unbeatable or pushes very badly it seems to be very tire pressure sensitive
You really need to get on scales asap and start over.I have heard some people say cross is a fine tune adjustment and some say it's a very important adjustment, before I have noticed it make a big difference on a 4 wheel drift loose everywhere added cross and it went away now I'm fighting to figure out why nothing a change air, cross, and left side weight has done anything to help the push and my front nose of my body have 4 or 5 laters of fiberglass on it the nose weighs allot like 3 or 4 times more then a regular fiberglass nose so I technically should be way over on nose and my seat is all the way forward
I haven't messed with camber and caster much I think I usually leave caster 12-8 and camber at around LF +.5 to +1 and RF at -2.75 one day I was running my treads with my open motor had a 4 wheel drift kinda all over didn't seem like I was getting any forward bite just blowing the tires off added some cross not sire how much but it gave it allot more forward bite and tightened the chassis upI still run my 2012 champ from time to time. All I can add about the cross is I’ve come to realize it may be more in the driver than you think. Example two different drivers same kart all I change to run myself is like 3 washers which on our kart is almost 9% which is a huge swing and we’ll run same lap times. Have you played with rf camber or the caster at all yet? There is speed up there to be found.
