Pilot Pete Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Looks like were about ready to go: Were gonna have to do something with the seat, its not the most comfortable driving position at the moment, but it'll do.

Guest Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 pete , the seat positions these days are defined by the chassis manufacturer not whats comfy ..... check against their website cause moving it will no doubt really dangler up the handling....

evo-mark Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 back from my first karting day so is karting the answer, well maybe I was a bit off the pace but I felt I was getting quicker every time out and my kart is a hoooot to drive i doth me cap to pilot ,he is the karting king and really made my kart sing when he had ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffC Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 yes well done Pierre, a drive in his kart was a revelation, felt night and day with my mass in getting out the corners was much easier It reasured me on what my probs were, I was beggining to doubt my ability conclusion of the day was warden Law needs a few teeth more on the rear sprocket, Roll on Teeside next week see if it actually was the sprocket and not my mass or lack of talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Pete Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yes, a pretty good day I reckon, the kart behaved itself after last nights build. A couple of teething troubles, the brake sticking on and me not tightening up the throttle stop thing, wouldn't go under half throttle, was probably my quickest session mind. Thanks to mark for a go in his machine, was pretty darn good, felt a tad crisper than mine but as father has just pointed out, might be more tyre pressures (we were running 20 against 18 in makrs), either way, its a very well sorted machine and I enjoyed the drive! Thanks to JC for a spin in his kart. I spun it 3 times on the opening 2 laps and thought, yes, this isn't the answer. But then I realised my legs were a bit longer and I was a: not coming off the throttle properley and b: pushing the brake way too hard. Once I got my head round that it was fine but as Jeff sais, if you lost momentum it would bog down easier than mine, just had to concentrate on keeping it on the boil. All in all, I'm very chuffed with my purchase. A bit of video: And some pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
