Caster setting....

[mullet]

I have an adjustable castor setting on my kt100 kart and need a good starting point to adjust it (degrees left and right). It is set up with ALOT now and is very hard to steer after about 10 laps.

Thanks for the help...

jack some castor out of it ...it will turn better ...try 4 degree split then try a 2 degree split....depends on your what your chassis will give back to you.........

would you set negative on the LF, or is that up to what the chassis wants to do?

me ?.....nah...neg castor will make my rear way to happy hehe..depends on your kart.......i have a kart that we piled into a steel post at orv ...has no castor in r/f ...wow that baby turns in waaaay alot........noodle chassis ?....try 7/9 ish ....stiff chassis? go get a noodle for oakie........seriously i have not that good of luck with a stiff chassis at oakie........but thats just me. and i am by no means any kind of set up guru.......all depends on the feel that makes you comfy......might ask renee
