Scaled recon

[Joker19]

I have a 16 recon and I scaled it to Prc baseline numbers are those numbers base on slicks. Wondering if Hoosier treads add or decrease cross weight.

I would be on less . Or at least the low side of recomended numbers .

What percentage do you think

 

[flattop1]

64 would be the high side of cross for a start . All the rest as factory suggests

Front, left, cross are all important numbers, but they're only a start. I have been working on a set up sheet that has almost 100 pieces of information, and a big percentage of those are related to set up. Track statistics are a big part. The stopwatch is the final arbitrator!

This, I had been having issues with my Triton with their recommended setting for cross. I dropped it to 63 and it finally handled as it should.

Does moving the left rear in or out affect the cross and how so

 

[flattop1]

Yes but mostly incrementally. Not the way you adjust cross .
Its more a timing change .

It may not change the cross substantially, but it changes other things. Center of gravity for one. It changes the relationship between the front and the back. To show you how much, in Sprint karting changing front and rear widths is one of 2 major changes they make for handling. The other is moving the seat forward and back.
Narrowing the front end of a Sprint kart by a quarter inch on each side, is the difference between loose, and not loose. Personal experience.
