Q&A: Answering Your Karting Questions December 2020 - POWER REPUBLIC 

Love the channel. Started out karting in senior rotax in the spring and bought a pre evo alonso kart, thanks to watching hrs of Des's videos I've basicly rebuilt my kart, from new braking system, carb adjustment, sticker kit installation, camber ect ect. Power Republic is by far the best channel on RU-vid. Having so much fun in my rotax. Just had a rebuild and next is the evo upgrade kit so I can go even faster. Big thumbs up. Look forward to more content in 23. All the best Rob

Huge thanks to Des at Power Republic. My family and I traveled down from Proserpine for the holidays and thought we’d call in and say g’day. Well I’m so glade we did, he’s a absolute champion and all round top bloke. We’re new to carting so to get a chance to talk to Des was fantastic. Any questions we had Des was more then happy to help. He hooked us up with some tools and the right parts for our cart, he even gave us the time and showed us around he’s work shop. We also had a chance to have a look at some merchandise and brought a couple of t-shirts which look awesome. So if anyone is looking to get into carting I highly recommend the Power Republic RU-vid channel as it’s made karting so much easier for us to get into with the limited information out there. Thanks again Des

I want to see pics of that twin rotax powered kart. It sounds awesome.

To remember the difference between Caster and Camber: You buy Castor Sugar at the supermarket where shopping trolleys have heaps of Caster.

thanks for the awnser mate really appriciate the help

Super stuff guys! Can’t wait to try all these things out!👍🏻

Thanks for answering my questions !! Keep up the good work !!

Hey Derek, I have a question regarding TonyKart's brake disc. Which would you recommend? 180mm or the 206mm. Greetings Jordy

Been watching a few of your videos all very helpful. Starting kz2 next year over the pond in Scotland. Cheers and merry Christmas

Enjoyed you videos. Have a happy and successful new year.

Hey Dez! Video idea: what is the best way to clean your kart after races? Chassis, bodywork, engine, and components. What chemicals to use and not to use? Thanks!

Awesome content from the house of power! Cheers mate

cold weather.... stiffen up the kart, but then put a softer axle in?

Massive fan of this channel, I bought my first kart this year 401S Rotax Evo. I’ve watched HOURS of your videos to learn everything from tyre fitting, to clutch fitting. I’m reasonably mechanical and wondering if you have a video, or know of a video guide somewhere, on how to strip down and rebuild my engine? I’ve done about 10 hours this year so guess it will be a rebuild soon. Can you help at all? Happy new year, your channel rocks, thank you.

Great video thanks!

Great vid man!

Thanks for the answer. It make sense.

Total newbie running a 2020 Arrow AX5 Evo restricted in masters KNSW. Apart from seat time, what's the best way I can learn? I will be running by myself and will be relying on a Mychron 5S for data. Trying to grasp axles, hubs, spacing. What's the next best tool for me to buy: a wheel aligner? Great videos, lots of intel.

Got a question: We found that both of the steering arms on my compkart are slightly bent. Not massively, but a couple of degrees out. We aren't really sure how much is affecting pace, though it has been a bit slower lately. Is there a way to change them without messing with the alignment of the camber/caster? We don't currently have a device to adjust it since we have only raced for a year and a half, and haven't invested in it. Thanks

HI Derek shout out from South-Africa, quick question what is the specify specs on the power valve on the older engine? i have the valve turned in all the way and about 13 clicks back out?

Thanks great channel, can you explain in depths when you run extra long front and rear hubs and what they do 👍merry Christmas guys

When you rebuild engines do you get them machined or do you just hone them?
