WEIGHTING THE KART
Lead ballast should be securely fastened to the sides,
rear or underneath of the seat. The best place for the
majority of your lead ballast is underneath the seat at
the front (Crotch area). Do not add ballast to any other
part of the kart chassis. A driver with a light body weight
may achieve better handling by fastening ballast as high
as possible on the seat. Adding a significant amount
of ballast can have a marked affect on the handling of
the kart. It may be necessary to test different mounting
positions for the ballast.
NOTE: Try not to mount lead on the rear of the seat as it gives the effect of moving the seat back
