Bumpy Setup

Guys, any settings tips for bumpy tracks.
Using a Tonykart, find it bouncy. Any advise will be great.

Thanks

The air in your tire is your spring rate. Play with tire pressure.

Do you have any special rituals when the helmet is concerned like many have? - "I wipe it so that I can see better." - Kimi

We find that softening the kart up a bit (removing torsion bars etc.) can actually improve grip because it keeps the tires in contact with the track better.

Lower the tire pressures, run N axle, and maybe raise rear ride height. Assuming its a pretty low grip track?

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Never think to play with tire pressures. We ruining Vega whites and MG greens. Using 5.5~6 bars. Grip are good.

N axle and rear is raised to clear the bumps.

Sounds like going towards rain setup TJ.
Will try lower pressure and softening the kart see any improvements.

Hate this track but what todo, need the championship points..
