Great video; reminds us of when we got our start doing karts 25 years ago. Currently developing a 2 seat kitplane that, after doing the numbers, will use a kart braking system to get to a stop after landing. It is neat knowing that it came full circle!
In theory if you had a keyed right spindle made you could order a second brake kit and switch it over correct? I got an intermediate class kart the other day I have no intentions of racing on an oval track so I want both brakes. I'm also going to fabricate my own wing up top with equal side panels.
6:02 short key could fall out if set screw gets loose, that's not safe. Also seems to be missing a lot of pinned / wired fasteners... everything on the tie rods and spindles should be safety wired.
Would I be able to attach left break to right side ???? Serious question because I want a right break to. Or would I need to change some things up to make the left fit on the right ?
Okay so this video is pissing me off because it's confusing the shit out of me... But why is it that you only install brakes on the left side and not the right? Even on your website it's the same thing you only sell the left side system and not the right. Generally I grew up with any kind of vehicle having brakes on both sides. I just got a shifter kart and it only has rear brakes but I want to put front brakes also but you guys only sell it for one side I don't understand. Any information would be helpful thank you Edit: normally I race drag cars Fast and the Furious Dom Toretto street racing type shit but I am literally brand new to karting so my apologies I don't know much but I definitely want to put brakes on both sides on the front😂
I know this is 6 months late but on an outlaw kart that races on dirt they run rear brakes and only a brake on the LF. No one in this type of racing used a RF brake
