NOTE: Some Arrow kart models have only two caster settings:
Backward = Minimum & Forward = Maximum (see below)
Negative/Positive Camber
Negative camber is when the top of the tyre leans towards the centre of the kart. Using negative
camber will reduce the amount of steering response the kart has, and will give more rear grip.
Positive camber is when the top of the tyre leans away from the centre of the kart. Using positive
camber will help to give the kart more direct steering feel, and will also help to give the kart more
mechanical ‘jacking’ of the inside rear wheel.
By rotating the indicator lines towards the centre of the kart you will introduce increased positive
camber on the attached relevant front wheel, conversely by moving them away from the centre of the
kart you will increase negative camber (see below).
Using Sniper alignment bars, the camber setting we recommend should be:
‘SL’ tyres: 0-2mm positive per side (meaning both front tyres should the same top to bottom, or
leaning out slightly at the top).
‘Open’ CIK Homologated tyres: 0-6mm negative per side (meaning both front tyres should be straight
up and down or up to a maximum of 6mm narrower at their tops than their bottoms).
