Pilot Pete Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 To be fair, AJ's pro kart was handling very well and it was on "hard" second hand vegas, SL8's. The briggies Dan was on were super soft, you do not need any more help Pilot Aye, somewhat deflated now, thought I'd be able to knock a second off me time with some nice new shiny bits, probably not then . Knowing what tyre's can do, all that karts performance could well be down to the supersofts! ****** hell! Will have to see what it goes like with the proper rubber on before I open me wallet, I'm sure it'll still be good, just not 48.5 good unfortunately! Oh ****** hell! I'm gutted!

JeffC Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 the boys kart is supposed to very good in the wet, the blue birel we have is supposedly better in the dry and the difference between the 2 karts is the boys has wide fronts and the blue one has short front hubs I thought the boys birel drove just like yours just with more grip , but when i got in it it wouldnt pull down the straights, with the quantity of lead bolted to it with me wouldnt graft I wouldnt mess with yours Pete, Im weighted right and on the right tyres and your kart was over 1/2 second quicker than mine today as it was the other day, im just hoping i can get that 1/2 second back with an axle swap failing that will unbolt the weight from the boys and use his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conibear Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 still has far too much grip at the rear widening the rears helps but not enuf Widening the rear will only give you more rear end grip. To get rid of your karts understeer, you need to widen the front and narrow the rears in. I'm sure I've told you this before Also, it must of been cold today, did you pump the tyres up more not with my kart it doesnt move the rears in and it increases grip and bogs down, widen them and it improves In truth thats possible, as it's all to do with reducing ground contact of the inside rear tyre, but something else is wrong then, seat position maybe But I know you all lean into a corner like you would as if your driving a car, this is wrong you need to lean away from the corner thus encourage the inside rear wheel to loose ground contact. Or, widen the front then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot Pete Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Team bishop auckland could hold the 1st 3 rows! Dont count your chickens just yet Pilot Bring it on slipp! Can you enter your kart in the same race as us? Aye, wont do owt until I see what the birel does on the proper tyre's. Close thing though, I nearly bought the hubs but luckily the bath became free so I had a bath instead! Do you know exactly which tyre's its on, just to try and make an educated guess of where it is?

Or, widen the front then If I widen the front the understeer is reduced but rear bogging is much worse Ive started leaning away from the corner but find it hard to do kart was spot on till i bent/ changed the rear axle and I fitted a medium 50mm, Im thinking now my original axle must have been a soft, im getting it straightened this week so kart will be back to how it was and fingers crossed i can then get back up to pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigstone YGB's, they are not for world form but by gum they are good Presume you mean YKB's or YJB, cant find a YGB on bridgy's site. Found YGB's on karting direct but dont sell'em anymore so must be discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conibear Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 From what I read of what you write a softer axle is gunner give you more rear end grip Surely you mean hard axle I hope your not really gunner straighten the rear axle Who does that then Paul Daniels You can straighten a solid axle but not a hollow one Anyone tells you different he's talking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
