- Advice welcomed! Time for excuses, this was the first time I drove this persons kart. It didn't fit me the best. I was also on hard tires, and theirs an issue with the brakes. I was 1 second faster on another kart earlier in the day. Other than that go for it. Let me hear it.

You seem to have a lot of fans rooting for your shifter debut, including me. Getting tired of seeing formal, aj and french battle. Go get em! 😁 Good luck! 👑🏎
Hopefully I can soon
That looks insane, you already got talent driving this thing, keep up the good work
I will! Thanks!
Nice some shifter action keep them comming
Bought a shifter of the begin of 22, this is my best year ever. Drove last weekend in Genk, Belgium. Absolutely incredible to drive these monsters
Thats an amazing track. I want to drive there one day
Sooooo nice to see u in a KZ shifter. 💪👍
It’s a difference for once
Nice! The KZ is a whole different beast, more POVs please
Oh I know! They’re quick quick
Pretty good driving for just jumping in someone else’s kart! I’m on my first season in a ROK, tons of fun, but a whole lot to wrap your head around and super physical!
Thanks! I got worked out hard that day
Nice work ! Those things will beat u. Up in a hurry lol bet u had fun !!
Not bad! One thing is to downshift quicker and earlier. Downshifting later reduces engine braking and makes it so you have less arm strength to turn around the corner because one arm is off the wheel or partially on it.
Forsure. After watching it back that's definitely something I noticed.
😳, That looks so fun to drive, will you race the shifter? Keep up the great work Ryan 😀
Maybe still working on it
Sick!
Thank you!
never driven a ROK Shifter, but damn this looks slow ;) . You doing great, trying tight lines, thats what you need. Gearing seems to be off, not your fault. Next time proper KZ. love your content
The KZ is definitely faster. Thanks man
As much fun as it looks it also looks really difficult to shift down and get the kart turned in time for apex
A little tip if you still drive switches at all... This oversteer, which you sometimes have, or a very tight steering wheel in the curve, is caused by the fact that there is too much pressure on the front brakes, so you have to shift the brake load further back
Nosing over quite early. Sounds like a stock rok and jetted fat as well. It drives much smoother when properly tuned. And welcome to the vortex gearbox lol. I observed some accelerator hop, try more pedal spring. And most tag drivers arent aggressive on the brakes enough intitially when they go to a shifter.
Yeah the tune seemed off. I just don’t have much reference to know what’s wrong
Completely different ball game ey Ry! Trying to carry the speed gained down the straight away into the apex is so difficult! Good job though id say
Thank you. Still have a lot to learn
Hello ryan,
What do you think about the x30 super?
I drove TM and Modena shifter karts. But i drive only 5-6 times a year. So for me it was no fun to drive on the limit. I bought a new x30 super with a new KZ CRG chassis. Do you think this was a good decision? i hope the difference is not so big… sry for my bad english. I am german:)
No worries! I’m not sure. I’ve never driven the super x30
@@NorbergNation ok. Thanks for the answer:)
@@NorbergNation
Please try it when u can.
It's like a X30 on steroids. 🤣💪
@@andreneubauer8056
Ich lass mal einen lieben Gruß hier. 👋☺️
Are we talking about the 175 top on the x30 lower end?
Ryan Bro I’m not going to lie
At the exact time you posted this I was literally planning to go to shifters😂
Perfect timing hahah
Hello! My friend got me into go kart racing recently and we go every other week or so, we always go to Orlando Kart center and I just wanted to ask if you have some tips for this specific track so I can get better 🤗
Always focus on the exit of the corner. The track has so many hairpins that if you don't focus on getting a good exit you'll lose a lot of time.
You should give us another video of how you felt driving the kart
It wasn’t easy 😂
Finally!!!
Hey Ryan, you have any plans on coming up to Atlanta Motorsports Park anytime?
Not as of now
Good on you for getting some laps, and posting the video even though it's not pretty. Tough to provide meaningful advice when you're driving a kart that is obviously not completely sorted and optimized for you. That said, there are two things that you can apply regardless:
1) Get more comfortable driving one-handed. Especially at a track like Orlando you're going to have to make shifts (in both directions) while turning.
2) Develop a system for better managing gear selection. This will of course come naturally with time, but find a system that works for you so you can stay more consistent with gear selection throughout the lap.
Thanks for the advice!
Marijn will have some competition soon hahaha
Comin for him
Bro. That looks hard AF! Getting the downshifts in is quite the chore huh?
It gets tough hahah
Was this filmed with a GoPro on the chin of your helmet or a cambox
Yeah
Sorry chin
I fear nothing, but that thing. it scares me
😂😂
✨✨
That’s awesome I do wonder, why do you run mostly X30s, I run shifters and I’ve always been curious what the draw is to 2 stroke single speeds since they’re virtually the same price
I get paid to drive x30 basically
KZ requires a lot more maintenance, absolutely chew through tyres and they're about $5-6000 more expensive in Australia.
Rotax Senior/X30 is definitely cheaper to maintain than any shifter class. I'm curious to where you live/race that they would be even close to parity in cost, because in most parts of the world, shifters are literally twice as expensive to campaign (over a season)
@@NorbergNation oh yeah I forgot you drive for like a factory outfit, love you videos man keep up the good work
@@flyingphoenix113 yeah I have a Rotax max, done nearly 20 hours and still running smoothly.
Can you make a video on little things that could be losing you time
Are you gonna race in rotax this year?
Maybe I think so
What type of gas tank do you use for that go kart
Not sure. It wasn’t my kart
@@NorbergNation oh ok
are you thinking of changing to kz ?
Maybe need to be able to get some more laps first
Do you have a link for that helmet cam ?
Its a strap that goes through your helmet. Look to up on amazon. Gopro helmet mount
👍🏻
When is RPG going to switch to Dakton?
I don’t think we ever will
maybe try to be smoother on the first touch of the brake and set the brake balance to an extreme front setting to practise if its way too much and you keep locking up like at 1:46 you can always change it on track, you cant brake anywhere near as hard as you can with rear only karts (sidenote, this track doesnt look like it has a lot of grip and kommet red doesnt help either, any of the yellows are going to be much better and maybe mg green or lecont)
What's the difference between a KZ and a Shifter? I always wondered...🤔
KZ is a class of shifter kart, they tend to have 50-55hp. This is a ROK shifter with less power and less reliability
@@aviandooley3466 I thought "Shifter" was an other class. My bad.
So yeah, i wanted to say that, the Rok you say.
Less power and reliability. Something to take positive from the Rok shifter against the Kz?
Thanks!
Alex Fernandez yeah, don’t really quote me on it. Ive just been told that the ROK has less reliability. I do know it has less power compared to the KZ. It’s also less popular. Where I race, we run open shifter so you can use any type of shifter kart that is governed. The KZ karts are usually the only fast ones and the Honda and ROK are farther behind
They got you covered
@@aviandooley3466
Who told you the rok is less reliable 🤔
That makes zero sense 😕
Next step in your career?
Maybe
You going to pull a Connor? JK! Biggest difference is having Front Brakes... you can brake later, harder, carry more brake into the corner and it changes your entry/exit for the corner. (Think point and shoot) You can play with the Bias to get the feel right for you. Have fun!
I might do some races if I can
There is nothing better! I drive bangers soooo much better than a TaG. Yay front brakes! But seriously, when you gonna make thr jump 'full time'?
I’m not sure. I still prefer TAG but we’ll see
@@NorbergNation we're all behind you waiting!! 🏁
Careful, there are withdrawal symptoms that set in after a few days!
hahahah
Bro you gotta do shifters! Let someone else win in x30
Thinking about it
shifter looks harder then a traditional kart.
It is. I don’t think anything compares to it
Advice: Brake a LOT harder, you are nowhere near the limit in this video, and it's really slowing you down trying to drive it like an overweight TaG
Thanks. I was sliding around in the seat so everytime I broke hard I’d fly forward
Shifting wastes time. If I could get an electric kart that was fast, light and made a cool sound, I would.
when they come out with one, ill try it
Use the engine more to brake the kart
Definitely need to
