Great help, there are never enough tutorials on krs and parolins 🙏

[@PowerRepublic]

More to come!

[@chrisguest3452]

in our KR days we used a 12 point socket for adjusting the camber, made it easy. Great vid Des!

Good tip and thanks for watching as always. congrats to the Boys at AKC by the way !!!!!

[@PurryKitchenWithTaste]

Love your videos too. I have learned a lot, and I mean lot. I have watched basically all of your videos and i know more about karts now than most of the people at my track.

noice

Hi just wanted some advice on using the snipers at the weekend I was at the track setting the toe with the kart on the trolley the snipers used was the same as your using it showed the kart had negative one side positive the other at 1st I thought kart was twisted we then put the kart on some tarmac and showed it was fine any advice please ?

[@PurryKitchenWithTaste]

@@forcedinduction2918It is fine since when the kart is at the tarmac, it lies much more flat in comparison to when it is on the trolley. To check, put the kart on a very flat surface and then check it again.

I love these videos and the amount of info packed into all your content

thanks for watching

It’s time for me to work on my Parolin’s set up. Been lazy. Running the same set up even when the tyres are starting to wear out. TQ!

[@PowerRepublic]

yeah get some, old tyres need a little more attention to stay on

When adjusting Castor on the Parolin, I find simply using the reference dot on the castor assembly easier than fiddling around verniers' etc.

[@mepardo33]

It's castEr, not castOr. CastOr is an animal. Google it!

[@PowerRepublic]

thanks for the tip and tuning in.

[@AFFMotorsport]

Cool set up on those ones.

[@PowerRepublic]

Thanks 👍

[@ddeadbeat]

Can you tell me how to check my stator on a ka100 PLEASE. no spark

[@indosaarelaht80]

The front end settings you show - are these done on the stand only or are they what should be with the driver in the kart on the ground.

[@PowerRepublic]

these were done on the stand. the kart will bump when on ground and driver is in. but the settings are relative.

[@ruiantunes3360]

On a low grip track with new tires what would you recommend running the Parolin Mini on with Levanto tires?

[@PurryKitchenWithTaste]

Im building an electric kz kart(250km/h) and designing a whole new frame myself in cad. Just wondering, roughly what are the dimensions of the pipe(diameter x thickness)?

[@PowerRepublic]

32mm

[@Mahatheyew]

What do you do if your steering geometry is 5mm-10mm or so out? Kart hasn’t had any accidents so I don’t think anything’s bent.

[@PowerRepublic]

adjust your toe on the tie rods until its even, or is the caster angle different across the kart ?

[@helmetculture]

Mate where is the OTK???

[@ayojigfk854]

Hey powerrepublic i need help my Engine doesnt got a balanceshaft and all my Parts are just getting lose because of The Vibration i already got. The iame anti Vibration Plate but it doesnt help much it is a iame k25

[@KylePettenhofer]

Im havjbg trouble with my camber settjngs moving ,the kart is pretty new . What mite this be ,im doing them tight

[@PowerRepublic]

are you using the locking screws ?

[@KylePettenhofer]

@PowerRepublic I'm not, but that because I can't get the settings to where I want with them in

[@borismontenegro8]

Hello Sir. I just bought karting for my almost 6 yrs old son. One thing i dont understand is,when i turn a steering wheel in right side for example,inner wheel is" opening "more then another one. Also is happening in opposite way. Im notice,this is happening only when karting is staying on one place. Im new in these world,so ur opinion and advices means a lot to me to make my son happier in his desire to be racing driver. Thank u in advance.

[@SomeSaltySoviet]

go karts have uneven turning radius's, this is called an ackermann steering geometry, for karts, this means the inside wheel turns more than the outside wheel, this is because the inside wheel needs to travel a tighter radius compared to the outside wheel. Karts also have a secondary function in their steering: you'll notice the inside wheel will dig into the ground when the steering is turned, this is so the kart can lift the rear inside wheel off the ground (called jacking) to take the corner. When you take a corner, your outside wheel needs to travel a greater distance than the inside wheel, so on a go kart with a solid axle (pretty much all karts) the inside tire would slide and scrub while the outside tire takes the corner. This is slow, and so is fixed by jacking the rear inside wheel in the air, so now the outside rear wheel can take the corner, and the inside rear can free spin in the air and not cause any scrubbing.

[@mitchellgould7405]

are you finding the camber movements too coarse? it seemed that one hole made a huge movement. Sort of surprised the second locking bolt hole isnt a "half hole"

[@PowerRepublic]

nah they seem pretty good. you could drill and tap another hole if you need finer adjustment . have you got a parolin?

[@mitchellgould7405]

@@PowerRepublic no I dont, have 2 otk cadets and a birel cadet at this stage. 3 different chassis with 3 different drivers on track keeps me scratching my head

[@martinliska5789]

Hello, please I need help with carburetor .. If i turn screw to right is the mixture richer or leaner?

[@harryd8997]

Like a tap, right or close is leaner left or open is richer

[@LMRacing88]

I just found the best trick for the Parolin and the kr: when u want the new version chassis of the kr or parolin from 2022 but u don’t have the money for the chassis then just buy the new sticker kit from 2022 and then you can’t see a difference😂

[@PowerRepublic]

sweet as , thanks for the tip
