Mount Awesome
มุมมอง 7K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Are you willing to trudge through The Valley Of Suck in order to climb to the top of Mt Awesome? Today's Whiteboard Wednesday is a bit less technical than usual, but it might be just the message you need to hear to take your karting to the next level.
Achieving kart balance
มุมมอง 36K9 ปีที่แล้ว
We've talked a lot about how your tyres can skid or twist to cause a slide, and how you can inspect them to try to work out which is happening. Now we need to bring all that together to learn how to achieve perfect kart balance.
Are your tyres talking to you?
มุมมอง 29K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Your tyres come back from each session with a whole bunch of information... if you just know how to ask.
Proper chain maintenance
มุมมอง 8K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Ever lost a race because you snapped a chain? Or are you constantly finding yours turning blue after a long session and heading for the bin? There's a simple trick to keeping your chains healthy and lasting for ages.

The tyres are the most important part of a kart - they're the only thing that connects you to the road. Understanding their behaviour is key to increasing your performance and trimming your laptimes.
The reason the van drifts is slip angle
มุมมอง 3.2K9 ปีที่แล้ว
How did you go with last week's tech question? Did you get the right answer? Col's back with more tyre tech, explaining how and why a van in a crosswind will drift off the road (and how that relates to kart setup).
Why does a van in a crosswind drift off the road?
มุมมอง 1.2K9 ปีที่แล้ว
This might seem like an odd thought experiment, but it has direct application in the world of kart setup.
Weight/Time Penalty

  • @steveeber2324
    @steveeber2324 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not an expert but it seems to me that an oil that does not burn clean is not burning completely. Whereas an oil that leaves no residue is either burning as fuel or blowing out as smoke. One thing you never see with synthetic oil is smoke. Caster based oils on the other hand not only leave carbon, but smoke as well. As to film strength, the main reason automotive producers have gone to requiring synthetic oil is due to it's high film strength.

    Thanks you for the video. I'm chasing an oil for my dirtbike, Klotz Techniplate seems to be very popular but hard to get in Australia. It is s blend of castor oil. Can you recommend another tutor m type of blend instead? The lube and smell of the castor is great, but I'm hoping if it's blended then it won't be too gummy. Thanks for any assistance.

  • @Mutifidus
    @Mutifidus 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have used caster based oil with good ( but gummy results). I left 927 mixed with racing gas over the winter. Knew I needed to dump it but didn’t. IAME 175 trash ( had to buy new one). IAME X125 rebuildable with new parts. DO NOT LET 927 SIT MIXED WITH GAS OVER WINTER !!!

    • @JETZcorp
      @JETZcorp 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vintage 2-strokes will do great on synthetic or castor. If you run it really really hard or have it out of tune, there's a chance castor might save you where synthetic wouldn't. But that's rare; synthetic is still really good. I use castor, but about 75% for the smell. And because my vintage stuff is air-cooled and non-powervalve, the gooey gummy sconge of castor is really not a problem. For anything that has a powevalve system, or anything with license plates that has to occasionally idle next to a cop car, the cleaner character of synthetic is probably the way to go.

    while doing research I came across this video (very informative) yet my question is regarding a commercial trimmer. I welcome your thoughts. I love the smell and the concept of Caster based. Just curious if I've done something wrong. thank you so much for your input ! I need some help guys. I was using the Blendzall 455 Ultra product , at a 50:1 ratio like recommended by the manufacture Redmax. I was using the Blendzall in my Redmax Trimmer Bcz260ts and absolutely Loved the trimmer (and I've used them all) I also love the smell lol. The motor began to get harder to start and seemed to be losing power it was only 4 months old and still under warranty YET when I took it in for evaluation, they said it was run without oil (straight gas ) and the Piston and cylinder wall were both scarred. They refused to warranty. I told them that I was sure it had oil/ Blendzall and they still refused to warranty. I would like to be able to use the Blendzall product but it appears that it has failed. Did I do something wrong? I saw a comment that it has NO protection if its been cold. I did have on porch over the winter. Please advise, I just don't want to throw 300 away again. Michael and thanks so much in advance.

    • @JETZcorp
      @JETZcorp 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If a castor oil mix is sat out in the cold, it will separate and I've read that once separated it won't mix back together properly. So it sounds to me like you had oil in your fuel tank, sitting in a puddle, and the engine probably ate the remaining straight gas. With castor-based oils it's best to mix fresh before use, or store for a short time (a couple weeks) in warm (40F+) weather. I use castor oil in my dirt bikes, and when the winter season comes I drain off the gas and feed it to my car so that I can use fresh mix in the Springtime. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your engine.

    hi, i'm currently doing some research on 2T premixing for my rotary engine. the engine itself eats a little of the mineral base engine oil, and as much as forums and discussion there is, i am still figuring out certain stuff. as you mention, ester oil leaves lesser carbon deposit after burn, and it mixes and stay mixed well with gasolin. Would the RON figure matters with ester 2T oil? Would the ester 2T oil gum up the injector and spark plug? thank you.
