As someone who is planning on buying a Kart and starting karting in the coming year, the KZbin algorithm has blessed me with this channel!

Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen so far. I would like to add some clarifications to the front end and axels. I’ve yet to see anyone point out that the front is actually primarily an Ackerman change due to the relationship to the steering shaft mount points; your generalizations could be wrong on chassis’s with oppositely oriented tie rods such as a coyote zenith. As for axels. Falling on either end on axel stiffness ranges can manifest in similar complaints from the driver. I’m actually dealing with that right now going back and forth from incredibly hard tires to soft ones. Too soft of an axel can be characterized as loose once it’s loaded because of it’s inability to relieve sufficient pressure from the inside tire and dragging causing excessive inside edge tire wear. It feels like it loads up and kind of springboards off. Too stiff can be characterized by insufficient flex excessive side bite and can feel like there’s little transition between sitting flat and aggressive lifting and or sliding with excessive wear on outside tire edges.

the thing I find funny about front ride height is that every person I listen to/talk to tell me a different thing. so far you and other 2 people said that increasing front ride height gives more turn in and other people I've talked to say that it gives less turn in. it's cursed lol. great video

Biggest advantage a big team has is that they have worked out the tire pressures and gear ratio by the end of the 2nd practice session whereas a privateer needs 4 or 5 sessions to do that. That results in them getting up to speed quicker and able to test different lines and approaches to corners much sooner than a privateer. Great video!

I purposely left tire pressure out of this one, because it can be pretty varied depending on track conditions and what tire you're using, but I plan on doing a video solely on tires in the future!

Hi Rick, thanks. Are you talking about Ackermann or steering rate? I only ask because these two terms get incorrectly swapped around a lot, and Ackermann settings are almost never changed on modern karts. Vroom had a great article some years back that broke down Ackermann and it's effects well: www.vroomkart.com/news/28965/ackermanns-angles#:~:text=EFFECT%20OF%20ACKERMANN%20IN%20CORNERS&text=You%20get%20the%20same%20effect,and%20less%20speed%20along%20straights. Steering rate can be changed per driver preference by changing tie-rod attachment points on the steering shaft. Some drivers with quick hands may prefer a slower steering rate to keep the kart more controllable and less twitchy. Drivers who are smoother and slower on the wheel might require a faster steering rate to get the kart working with less inputs.

Hi, some texts on your PPT are hidden by your camera video. Is there a pdf or ppt file to read? And could you explain more about the physics of Front Ride Height? I'm confused why raising the front ride height provides more pushing into the track.
