In theory the caster/camber should be at zero with the neutral pills installed, but the chassis could be bent or it is just from the manufacturer like that.

LOL!!! yeh we definitely are. We spend a lot of time together figuring out what to do with it and how it is handling, but truthfully I enjoy all the time we have learning new things together and having the quality time we get together doing it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The roadrat we have came from Florida. And I am not offended at all, I knew this was an entry level kart but damn, I have rebuilt everything on this thing but reconfiguring the chassis..LOL This kart has been a learning experience there was little to no adjustment on the chassis had to add a few extras but it is working good now , “good” not where we want it, yet. We have got a Dover motor on it this year. My son has actually won a race with this kart, but like you guys say longengevity of the chassis is my concern as well, we definitely are not easy on it and I am surprised we haven’t had to weld it more, only once so far..knocks on wood!!

it is a Roadrat chassis.

I didn’t mean the chassis lopsided, just the numbers. Could the chassis being twisted cause my numbers to be off like this?

[James Barnes]

yeh, we had to flip the tire. wasn’t sure how it would affect it, didn’t expect that result though. We try to keep the pressure to 13 lbs. We were running at Kartington. it is an oval track.

I don’t have the kart here with me, that was at the track. we had 1/2 degree positive camber in the left front and 2mm toe out. The rim may look wide just because of how the pic was taken. It is a roadrat chassis with a Dover motor.

I thought we had it together, but then it started getting that rubber built up towards the outside and I never seen that before.
