Maximum Grip Setup (Low Grip Track)
The following settings are recommended as a starting point for a dry track with little grip.
These types of tracks are often referred to as “green”, given the inherent lack of grip in them.
The attempt here is to gain more grip from the kart. The following recommendations should
aid in this.
Weight distribution should be 43.0” front, 57%.0 rear and 50/50% side to side.
Toe should be set out to 1/16”-1/8” on each side.
Caster should be at maximum. Set adjusters to III/III settings.
Front bumper should always be tight.
Front width should be 45” to 46”.
Front ride height should start in the middle. Use both shims under the front spindle to
raise height is more front grip is needed.
Side pod bars need to be loose
Seat should be set according to factory recommendations.
Rear wheel hubs should be medium to long (for maximum rear grip).
Rear ride height should be as high as possible (axle in lowest position).
Rear track should start at 54” to 54-1/2” for maximum grip.
Axle should be medium to stiff.
There should be at least two seat struts on each side of the seat.
Rear torsion bar should be in, positioned in the flat setting to start.
Rear bumper should be tight.
