      Did you get the setup sheet that says 4.11?  I have mine set up pretty close to the base setup on the sheet.  If not email Margay and ask for it.

      What tires are you using? Your post doesn’t say.  If they are a hard tire like the YDS I’m right at the widths front and back as the setup sheet says.

      But for a softer tire like the YHC I’m about an inch or more wider front and rear.

      No front bar, spindles in the middle.  Caster is a little negative and just a touch of Camber using a Sniper Laser.  Short rear hubs and medium axle.  I’m using hub mount front rims.

      They sent me the new one for 4.15.  Guessing they are pretty similar.  Tires are Duro which are hard rental tire.  Some of the things I see that are different than other chassis is the high rear weight and setting the axle high.  Seems most other 4 cycle sprint chassis use around 53-54% rear and do the opposite for rear ride height.  Still have to mount the seat and get some scales.

      If it’s super hard tires then move towards a rain set up.

      I have never had a successful 4-cycle sprint kart work with 53-53% rear weight.  Those are oval track/offset numbers.   The Margay will like 57-59%.  Maybe 56-57 percent with the hard tires.

      The the setup manual calls for 57% and a 49% left.  The 49 seems a bit weird.  Tires are Duro which are probably like a rock.  I have Burris tires for now.  Will use those up for practice before getting the club race tires.  Want to get several practice days in before racing and I will need wider wheels since they are using a much wider tire than what my chassis came with.
