So how did you pick up 3/10th's? I get more tire patch equals more RF grip. But that is only going to improve your time if you have a bad push. If the kart is NOT pushing and you're only using 80% of the tire patch the will it slow the kart if you adjust the camber to put more RF into the dirt? Possibly loosen it up? Increase rolling resistance with more RF in the dirt? With more tire patch in the dirt can we run more cross and get more drive off on exit?
Hi Guy, it goes deeper than just driving conditions. How the kart loads the tire during the turn is very important, if not the most important aspect to corner and exit speed. The reason for this is because it controls how much and how long the kart stays loaded during said turn. How the chassis loads the right side tires, the rate at which it loads them, and how long it loads them has a direct effect on how the chassis stores, controls and disburses kinetic energy. Which in turn controls forward drive off the turn on exit.
Most of the time, yes, unless you already are too low on camber, then it will make the front darty and possibly start pushing while being darty because the kart wants to keep putting the LR back into the dirt.
Don’t worry Donald, I got you. If you are getting a push on exit, then typically you have too much RF camber and need to go down and put more tire patch on the racing surface.
@@dynamicdopamine Correct. Basically this camber change is balancing the kart up. If you are too loose you need to take grip away from the front with more negative RF camber. If you are too tight then you need to add more RF grip with more positive RF camber. There are other changes that you can make for these conditions. You can use the amount of PSI in the RF in the same way. It's more suttle but it works the same way.
