 |
|
one is a good gear ratio to start out with? clutch? axel?
for 350 lb?
for 400 lb?
tire rec's? brand? size? air pressure?
how freely should an axel spin? (older kart)
How can you free up an axel that seems to be tight?
Move collars?
Don't mean to ask for prep secrets, just ball park numbers. Thanks cb

A) 6" max width on rear, hard compound i.e. Bridgestone YHC. On YHC 13psi front, 15psi rear to start
