What weight class are you running?If they're trying to say that the LF is stuck down too hard, then it's logical to think that's creating a shortage of weight transfer to the right side, causing the kart to lose front grip, causing a push/drift from center off would that be a fair assumption? If so, that's the MAJOR problem I had with a PRC Recon...would it be safe to say that with the overall design and 1 1/4" tubing, it is too stiff a chassis? Conversely, I switched to Minecon, I'd say 99% if the time, I don't have an issue with "pining" the LF, many times I can feel the LF picking up , I can drive the LF over the white discs and not feel them....and the Minecon has been really consistently fast for me from the first time I put it on the track....I had never heard the term "pining the LF" but now having a better understanding, I see how if you're having it, major changes are in order....thx!
This is why we have removable washers in the front suspension.I see this is an old thread but I will add my .02. Back in the 90’s racing hobby stock pinning meant the wheel was stuck too tight on the ground. Pinning the left front would mean the left front is grabbing too much traction through the turns especially from center out. You wanted more down pressure on the front shocks to get into the turns and start a slide, what the kids these days call drift. About halfway off the turn you wanted the front left to lift to slow the “drift” and start gaining forward traction. If the front left was pinned or stuck to the ground the car would continue to slide coming off the corner making it hard to shoot the straightaway. Basically too much left front traction at the wrong times causing a loose condition coming off the turns. I would imagine it is similar in the karting world, meaning the left front is holding traction too long through the turn. The big cars were a lot different because of the suspension and how they took the turns, but to fix that you would soften the suspension on the right rear and/or the left front. Less down pressure left front and right rear. Again not sure how that would apply to karts or how to fix it in a kart. Less left side weight?
You run like your hauling the mail. LolLimited modified and open....
