I’d put in a soft front bar and at least one seat strut per side. I feel like already the 32mm is going to be too stiff for a 100lb kid, but without seat struts you’ve got no hope to get it to load properly.

The rest of it, set it up baseline like you said and see if it works. I drove a 32mm kart for a while at one point, back when I weighed maybe 120, and really struggled to get it to lift properly because it was so stiff.

thanks TJ….I’d really like to put him in a 30mm chassis, but I’m trying to work with what I have (a 32mm krypton) and considering he’ll be learning to drive a gearbox kart <not competing> with this set up, I figured we’d give it a try…ya know, you’re the second person to mention seat struts, however I dont run any on my evrr with a T9.5 seat and the thing handles unreal, must have to do with driver weight I suppose….I know shifters should be stiffer than tag set ups, I have the struts, I guess we could mount them and test attached and unattached to see what works better…if he takes a liking to the gearbox, we’ll sell the TAG chassis and this 32mm and get him a newer (14 or15) 30mm chassis….or at least thats my thinking….I think seat position is going to be crucial here

Without scales I’d guess the seat would want to be 1-1/2″ left of center at least.
