- What is the biggest problems that drivers face? Not knowing how to set up the kart. In this video, you will learn many of the different changes you can do to a kart and how they make the kart handle.
Thanks man. I am 68 years old & have only been karting for 6 years so everything u can teach me is so important !!!
That’s amazing! Happy to help!
Thank you, keep on going with more Set-Up videos!!!
Thanks Ryan! You explain things in a way that even beginners like me can understand. Keep up the good work!!!
Such a nice video. I would love to see more of them this really helped me.
The most important thing about 50mm axles for me is to keep them as clean as possible so you can easily inspect them for any cracks. Do this every day, and if you are banging curbs in the rain, you should do it every session. Pay special attention to any flattened or recessed areas (i.e. bearing keyways). I didn't see a crack which broke the axle completely at 70mph at Sonoma, locking one tire and turning me into the tire wall. And that is the last thing I remember... the kart was obviously destroyed.
Thats a good point!
Damn I wouldnt have thought the axles are that fragile.
Nice! Thanks for the info! 👍
You should do one on axle position too, high low forward backwards..
If you wanna know what axle to run just go up to an rpg and pull the tape off that’s covering the label I do it all the time and they don’t seem to mind
😂😂😂😂
Been loving the videos Ryan - Have learnt so much!
I picked up a slightly older senior chassis with 40mm rear axle and 17mm front stubs. Do you think its worth switching to 50mm and 25mm Fronts?
Great videos. They are a big help.
Thanks Ryan exellent as always 👍🏁🏁
What about lighter or heavier drivers? Would you suggest going to a softer or harder axle based upon driver weight?
You might have to run a harder axle. The kart will flex too much with a softer one
Love the content bro! 💪🔥
Thanks. Can you explain more why the hard axle lifts the inside rear tyre high? I can not figure it out.
Try bending a stick
Is shortening the axle the same as bringing in the rear track. i.e the rear hubs? Cheers 🇦🇺
great video
Thank you!
Hey ryan, I saw an EKN article about you and it said that a team offered to lend you a drive for a national race. Do national teams still offer drives or is the only option to pay them?
They can offer them. Most teams you have to ask first. Make sure they know who you are when you talk to them
@@NorbergNation Thank you Ryan, Good luck this year!
When you're talking about axle length what are the actual measurements of a "short" v. "long" axle. I think our RY30 is 1020 as standard but would short be shorter than that.
yes it would mean shorter than standard
What about a shortend axle vs a normal length axle?
I talk about this in the last few minutes of the video.
Have you ever raced with a rotax? and whats your thoughts on them
Yes I raced it. It’s a fun package. Good for teaching throttle control
Hello Ryan, I struggled at FWT 1 this weekend with grip, did you run with the medium axles?
Not allowed to say sorry
If your rear width is say 55” wide how does have more or less axle inside the hub make a difference?
I don’t know the science behind it. Honestly wish I did. All I can say is that you do feel a difference.
@@NorbergNation I agree, you can definitely feel the difference between a standard N axle and a cut down one.
It stiffens the hub if it goes in more.. if the axle is shorter the hub and axle is able to flex more. Same principal with changing between longer and shorter hubs.. thats just my opinion 🤙 lolll
GIllard chassis are just built different.
Got an 010B any advice
Yes they are! Surprisingly I used to drive one when I first started Karting.
When he refers to "secrets". He really means cheating. But he will totally deny cheating.
Dang, I've been caught. You really did it. Cracked the "code." If you believe this you don't actually know anything about racing. Or at least karting.
@@NorbergNation I know a bit about karting. Started racing them in 1967. Still am at 67. Cheating is part of all racing. Always has been, always will be.
