old fart
Sorry to highjack the thread. I just have so many questions running through my head all the time and I only know one person who has much knowledge on karts.
There are also wheel base rules. Setting toe on the right allows you to fudge the wheel base rules a little.
A very little but as is often said on here everything matters.
If you set it on the left by turning the left tire to the left a little, then on the track straight the left wheel will turn to the right and move forward a little.
But if you set it on the right by turning the right tire to the right, then on the track operating the right side tire will slightly move forward when it splits the toe and the left tire will move back.
Though when measured with either side straight you will be within the rules, on the track it makes the wheel base on the left shorter and lengthens the right. ... huh? never did understand it ...
Also if indeed you do mainly use the big right front to make the kart go where you want to go then it puts the left front even farther behind the right front, further shortening the inside wheel base. You end up being able to run with the inside wheelbase less then what is allowed in the rules because when the left front turns left it also moves back. maybe?????
