Let me know if you enjoy this style of video!

@jmdldvl6445 2 года назад

Thank you!! i´ve always have the doubt: Why is sometimes better to stay in the middle of the turn and not in the outside? Like you did in turn 1

@kartingtips 2 года назад

@@jmdldvl6445 Great question! At this tight and twisty indoor track, approaching the corner very wide will lose you time. This way you are wasting meters. Check out this video which explains the 'Three quarter rule', ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rD8EC4aavrI.html

@wiggumo Год назад

Yes!

@naifalthani1602 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip my average speed was 31 seconds now 27 😀

@ameen1358 2 года назад

This really helped me transition from petrol karts to electric. I wasn't sure what to focus on when I tried the electric karts for the first time.

@squidgamer7195 2 года назад

Great tips Omar and a very well produced video !

@vibinmv3971 Год назад

Hi, I had my first indoor gokart experience today( pretty late, i knw)... And geez, how i wished i saw your video earlier...Before jumping in the cart, i saw almost everyone doing drifting at corners and thought that was the way. I thought, i ended up almost stationery at exit because of my poor control of gas pedal. I will try out this technique next time. Thanks

enjoyed this! not many vids out there that would explain details on electric go karts for racing

@sam88wise22 Год назад

It’s raceday here again, time to refresh myself with the basics once more 😂👍

@croationkidd4500 Год назад

thanks for the tips, will be helpful at K1 when i go racing.

@yodecaf Год назад

Wonderfully articulate video

@Lil_Mood_ Год назад

Well done - on the body tilting point; best to keep a central position, but avoid tilting into the corner.

@jobdoneinc.4762 2 года назад

Thanks for this, imma try those tips today

@backseatcovers Год назад

I enjoyed the video. Only just got into karting. I was actually leaning into the corners until now. 🤣

@justasgriskevicius3492 4 дня назад

Hey, great video! Though, to be honest, it seems like you approach every video targeting the basics of karting (getting on the power early or trying to minimize sliding), which also applies to ICE karts. For me personally, I wish that you would incorporate some more advanced tips (something that you would only do on an electric kart, and not on ICE, and vice versa)

@lamboking8able 3 месяца назад

So trail braking or nuetral steering for electric karts because I'm trying to figure out what's better.

@RefrigeratedTP Год назад

Do you trailbrake these electric karts?

@jakubfuchs5019 2 года назад

thx

@daniellec2172 8 месяцев назад

what is the goal for slowing down in corners? is it to get your kart to be smooth through them? to avoid the shuddering that happens at full speed? to be able to smoothly take the ideal line?

@SakehXD 7 месяцев назад

if you slow down in the corners then you'll exit it way faster

@striker8405 2 года назад

Do they change the power of the cars depending on the age? Because I'm following all the instructions but i can't get below 29 seconds (15 btw)

@yongling9825 Год назад

I think this totally depends on the kart's manufacturer. I just drove a Ferkart RKZ, which is their adult version of their lineup of karts.

@patty6371 2 года назад

So what is the exact difference to driving conventional go karts? Also I have heard it's better not to hit the break pedal at all and just lift the gas pedal to reduce speed?

@abbd1237 2 года назад

That's for petrol carts. Electric you should use the brake more aggressively bc they accelerate well even in low rpm territory.

@Coasterlocity 4 месяца назад

They told me the same at K1 speed. It lowered my lap times til I hit my fastest lap.

@CaptainAwesomeness 2 года назад

I think the tip about leaning is definitely debatable. I have tried that as well as remaining neutral, and for me I have found that not shifting my weight when going into turns actually yielded better lap times for me. In short I'm trying to say your mileage may vary. I should also add that I'm very grateful that you did this video because I was using outdoor gas karting techniques on electric karts and that did not work out well for me. So I am glad that you proved my thoughts for me that indeed slow in fast out is the best formula with electric karts and/or indoor tracks for the most part.

@srikannannamasivajam2993 Год назад

yes

@Chad_Aucoin Год назад

after one session, i just dropped two tenths at my local K1 after watching this video a couple of times

@kartingtips Год назад

Great job! Keep it up :)

@Troydias Год назад

hi floyd

@striker8405 2 года назад

How hard should we brake

@kartingtips 2 года назад

Your aim should be to slow the kart down as fast as possible. Apply enough brake pressure that you are on the limit of sliding the rear end. If the rear end of the kart snaps out, you are braking too hard. Check out my dedicated video for braking: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lszPzCkJqkc.html
