So we've been looking more into setup and trying things at tracks here across the SE in our '21 Pursuit. Our team owner asked me something the other day that made sense and I want to understand it better.
You can use caster to either plant the LR or take weight off it I'm told.
Typical dirt setting for caster on almost any kart is LF 8 and RF 10 or possible 8/12. But if you look at Pavement setup they suggest crazy numbers like LF 8 and RF 6. I'm told this is to free the chassis and cause the LR to "lift" allowing it to turn.
SO if running high bite "dirtphalt" tracks here in the SE, why wouldn't you run Asphalt settings especially if having issues like a push center off due to the kart staying on the LR?
I still can't really grasp what caster does and how it affects the kart. Its one of those things I've never touched on any kart.
