On a faster higher bite track 1/4 mile track do you run the castor blocks on front line, and Axel in front holes, or what is the best setting.. it is currently on front mark set at 12/7 castor, with lead in on right rear. Just got the kart and never owned a Umax, trying to figure it out.
 
having the lead in the rear end can help but as with every chassis change it can also hurt. What it will do when you lead the axle is help you come off the corner a little better but at the same time you are litterally putting rear steer in it like a Monster Truck. So instead of going down the straights like this: l you will be driving like \ trying to stay straight. It can cause bind in your chain which isn't good on big tracks that require as much speed as you can get. as for castor blocks, sorry thats a secret. Left rear cross in and out, this will alter your cross, depending on washer placement on the front, 65% to 73ish% just with the flip of the left rear pills. These things love cross remember that just make sure you can hang on to it. Hope this helps some, good luck on the season, and congrats on buying the fastest chassis in production.
 
The castor blocks is a secret....really?! Thought this forum is to help one another....anyways, if I'm on a higher bite track lf at 7 and rf at 10...which is factory settings....id have the rf in rear position...the axle in the front setting, with the left rear pills with cross IN....right rear lead OUT....and high cross...mid to high 60s...

Sorry, some of my closest competitors are on here everyday, and they are all on similar chassis. Cant afford to give out too much info.
 
IMO castor isn't gonna give one driver an advantage over another....way too many other variables that have more speed potential....
 
i do have a PM setting on here, I'm just trying to figure out what to do with this thing. We have always ran PRC stuff. First Umax
