Yes front and back for 10th mile.That much huh ?? Is that what u run for front & back ??
...and I wouldn't be afraid to even run more rear stagger, depending on how the kart was turning in.That much huh ?? Is that what u run for front & back ??
LF for LR...and I wouldn't be afraid to even run more rear stagger, depending on how the kart was turning in.
There are a couple 1/10 mi. tracks (backyard) that we've worked with guys that are successfully running 2 - 2 1/4" inches of rear stagger. The trouble becomes getting the LR small enough at that point. 1 1/2" would be the minimum I would expect to run on that small of a track, as we run that much on considerably larger tracks.

Yea, but then you lose some drive up off the corner. 8 3/4" wheel and heat/cold shrink the snot out of them and you'll eventually get there with a 6.00. I haven't tried a 2021 LR that small yet. Every one I've mounted so far has been slightly big (33" on 8 1/2".)LF for LR
Your doing it all wrong you cannot change air to achieve stagger, you set stagger by growing and shrinking tires before the race.Not meaning to hijack this thread but to achieve that much stagger, do you buy different diameter tires or run the inside tires air pressure much lower? Our track has a rule that the outer right re3ar tire can not exceed 34.5 inch diameter so in order to get some stagger I fill that sucker with as much air to get the allowed diameter, then lower the left side down to around 7 psi. This only gives me about 1/2 - 3/4 inch difference.
All my tires came with my kart. I'm sure they have a few years on them.
You're not the first, and certainly not the last to find this out.Lol! Im getting that a lot, the doing it all wrong part. Learn something everytime I read a new thread. Had no idea tires could be shrunk before today.
Thanks, I have been using the search and reading up on a lot. TONS of good informationYou're not the first, and certainly not the last to find this out.
I hear this all the time "I add psi to get the stagger I need." = totally wrong.
Now, you can add psi to "stretch" a tire to properly size it, but race pressure is a much narrower range.
If you're on a real small track, you may need to use a different LR tire diameter size (ie 10.5 rather than an 11.0.)
There are several threads on this site that already talk about tire sizing (shrinking and growing.)
Check out the search feature in the upper right hand of this page.
Better yet, block out a couple of hours some time that it's convenient, and read through much of the tire forum on here. LOTS of good information on tires and preps.
All the added front stagger did was change the rake slightly, but mostly just added cross.We ran a 2 inch stagger on front and back on bullrings
Yes sir, it sure helped us big boys getting around the trackAll the added front stagger did was change the rake slightly, but mostly just added cross.
