I enjoy the fact that the GPS speed indicator graphic in the first photo above has the “flaps down” range setting shown along with Vne…

/private pilot jokes = always funny

how are you doing the remote wifi, radio based?

[Mike D’Ambrogia]

I don’t have a GPS for a Mychron for sale, but maybe something else to consider — on my track bike I use the Qstarz BT1000ex GPS  unit, comes with Qracing software that does lap analysis and tracking, 10hz/10x per second resolution, I’ve enjoyed the software and its helped me drop many seconds on my lap times much much faster that I would have without it.  Its about $170 or so iirc, and not real time in that you need to download the unit to a laptop or PC when you want to view the data and get some feedback.  fwiw, good luck with your search either way.

lol, effing Stu! just sent him money that he is prob using to pay for your MyChron.

[Mike D’Ambrogia]

first in line, which receiver?  magnetic or ir?  price include shipping to the left coast?

I’m taking the bike to Sears this Friday for a track day, maybe I’ll drag the kart along and hit the kart track while I’m there on Sunday…  hmmm

> I am going to spend some time this weekend taking a look at that cable, and having a peek at the clutch.

what did you find?

[Mike D’Ambrogia]

sounds like you need to move the seat back Aldus.  I’m new to the sport, but I don’t think that there are “seat dimensions” for you – it becomes a drivers preference thing.

My understanding is that you move the seat to where it is comfortable for you, mount it, then scale it to understand the weight distribution.  If moving the seat back puts too much weight in the rear then use weights in the front to regain the desired F/R L/R balance.  Seems most people strive for 50/50 bias left to right, and then 52-ish/48-ish rear to front as a general rule, and then drive it for awhile and change up as more is learned.

But if you can’t fit your butt in the kart then that is the first problem to solve, tune the chassis out once you get the seat positioned and mounted to your driving preference.  I’m mounting my seat today as well so this is a timely subject for me, I’m 6’3 and 235 so I’m imagining that I’ll have a big task in front of me too
