Kart sitting on floor?

[Dryslick13]

Will it flatspot tires? Guessing it is best to put up on a stand so tires stay off cement? I only have one stand, but could at least put jack stands under the extra kart. Also, would using jack stands under the ends of the frame for weeks cause any issues with the frame?

It wouldn't hurt to sit it on the floor or to put something under it on the floor

Milk crates work well, just put it under middle of kart.

A bit more concerning would be how to ratchet strap a kart down to a trailer for transporting.

That works well for an enclosed trailer. It's the little open flat bead trailers that I see karts getting realigned while traveling back and forth to the race track.

We take the tires off and sit it on a 1/4" rubber mat on the floor of trailer. We have 2 anchors on floor and ratchet across seat. Not that tight. Did a MDKC race in Missouri...drove 4 1/2 hrs one way....didn't move an inch.

I have used just a 2 x 4, maybe 36" long right under the frame in front of the rear axle

2X4 Works for me also.

A 6.00 under the sprocket and one under front axle .
Couple straps for an open trailer.

Moving blankets on floor under kart works good.
