I wouldn't replace the spindles just the kingpins and bearingsAs I complete my first year with my son in flat karts and am looking to see what parts need replaced in yearly maintenance. Recon kart. I will change all bearings. Get a new chain. Replace the throttle cable. I was told to replace the axle and both spindles. Anything else?
What happens to the kingpins?I wouldn't replace the spindles just the kingpins and bearings
They take way more abuse than you realizeWhat happens to the kingpins?
Gotcha. I didn’t think they would take much at all, but they are cheap and you might as well toss them when you are changing spindles.They take way more abuse than you realize
As long as they aren't bent, you'll be ok.Gotcha. I didn’t think they would take much at all, but they are cheap and you might as well toss them when you are changing spindles.
My spindles take a beating cuz I’m currently a mid pack racer.
Thanks for trying to straighten the ship, the thread got a little off course.So what needs to be replaced on a kart after certain amount of races and why?..looking to learn something
So what you guys are arguing about is kingpins. They cost $14.39. Hijacking my thread for this?the engineer is my Dad lol
We'll get it cleaned upYall guys ruined this post...could've been a good one with important information to help other racers out (the point of 4cycle) it turnt into something useless. I like this site but to many people trying to prove something that's irrelevant ...
