Not correct measurement, you basically be laying flat in the kart.I’d like to know the answer as well. I have a phenom. I think I read somewhere it should be 4.5in from the axel? If that’s the case, where do you measure from? 4.5in from a specific spot on both the seat and axle?
Literally your seat would lay on rotor guard pretty much.I’d like to know the answer as well. I have a phenom. I think I read somewhere it should be 4.5in from the axel? If that’s the case, where do you measure from? 4.5in from a specific spot on both the seat and axle?
I think it's from the motor rail to the seat strutI’d like to know the answer as well. I have a phenom. I think I read somewhere it should be 4.5in from the axel? If that’s the case, where do you measure from? 4.5in from a specific spot on both the seat and axle?
That was my thinking as well. Didn’t think it was even possible to drive. That’s why I was asking. Not sure where I came up with that. HahahahaLiterally your seat would lay on rotor guard pretty much.
That makes a lot more sense. I know I read that measurement somewhere but couldn’t remember what/where.I think it's from the motor rail to the seat strut
Thanks so much. That makes a lot more senseNot correct measurement, you basically be laying flat in the kart.
The rule is 14" from ground to top of seat, general rule of thumb is no less than 8.25" from axle to top of seat.
Type of seat, class of the driver, all comes into play.
I laugh not at you but at the situationThat was my thinking as well. Didn’t think it was even possible to drive. That’s why I was asking. Not sure where I came up with that. Hahahaha
It’s all good. I found it comical and insane. Was wondering how in the world anyone could race that way. I know I’m a total noob when it comes to racing karts, but I knew that couldn’t be right.I laugh not at you but at the situation
I’ve never measured it before with the Phenom. If on dirt center the front of the seat to the post. Asphalt center of seat about 1” left of the steering post. Indoor concrete mount it on the nerf bar lol.I’d like to know the answer as well. I have a phenom. I think I read somewhere it should be 4.5in from the axel?

Unless you have the guy we do race indoors. We mount the seat pretty center. Skinny guys are making my dang back hurt! 140lbs in his safety equipment. He runs my buggy too.... 425lbsI’ve never measured it before with the Phenom. If on dirt center the front of the seat to the post. Asphalt center of seat about 1” left of the steering post. Indoor concrete mount it on the nerf bar lol.
Lg seat, 180 poundsSeat size? Driver size also can change it a little. We typically mount them 8 1/2 from the axle to the top of the seat and about 4 1/2 of inside edge of inner engine rail. If running a Med or Large 2.0 go 1/4"-1/2 higher.
For indoor concrete I mount it on my 40 pound nerf barI’ve never measured it before with the Phenom. If on dirt center the front of the seat to the post. Asphalt center of seat about 1” left of the steering post. Indoor concrete mount it on the nerf bar lol.
When I mounted it was about 1”off of the floor pan?typical seat placement for adult driver as follows
seat bottom level with bottom of frame rail (jr align with top of frame rail)
front of seat centered or slightly left of steering column
rear of seat centered on brake disk (NOT ON A CHASSIS WITH A DISC ON RIGHT ie rivel)
back of seat 14" from level surface
adjust for percentages
