Trail Braking vs Threshold Braking in Karting (tutorial) 

Haha, trust me the kart was undrivable 😂

@@kartingtips you know, last time I’ve tried rm and it begins jumping in 100+ speed. It was very “tired” frame )))

I think you are right

Try out the Threshold braking technique and let me know how it goes 😎

That style of braking works a lot better in indoor karting than outdoor.

@@ElementsMMA is it because indoor tracks or more narrow? Im curious as to why so i learn the concept and science behind it.

@@HazardGarage A myriad of factors, the tyres being a crucial one - rental karts have more durable tyres, so you can hammer the breaks multiple times per session and not experience any degredation, whereas outdoor performance karts or pro karts have performance tyres which a driver needs to look after or they will lose all grip after a small number of lock-ups and general abuse. The surface being also very important, generally indoor karting has a slicker, grippier surface where you are less likely to slide uncontrollably when locking up. Indoor circuits are not likely to have marbles associated with tyre deg described above either, so locking up in any given aprt of the track comes with a lot less lost in lap time than outdoors, where if you lock up on the marbles you have basically ruined your lap. Purely being outdoors also means you would do well to keep control of your kart, with cross winds and all the atmosphere of an outdoor track as opposed to limited factors indoor.

@@ElementsMMA thanks for the explanation!

Womp wimp...more opportunity for me to win

He said that, at the start.

i would say threshold because it is still a rental kart. plus in 2 stroke (specifically rotax) you need to be really smooth on the power, if not your kart bogs down. and in rental it is probably difficult to be smooth on the power as they are made for everyone to drive so the kart isn't as responsive as any professional kart. so for a kart like DMAX just treat it like a normal rental kart and do threshold braking to keep the revs high.

It’s an awesome track!

@@kartingtips are all the tracks in the video in the caribbean?

It’s a Kosmic Kart with Rotax Senior Max engine

Nope, karts do not have traction control

Karting is supposed to be a raw driving experience. It's to do with your instincts and driving skills competing against the rest. Sitting just inches from the ground, there are no gadgets or technology to save you😮

@@ameen1358 Yep, it used to be even more raw back in the day, when you were more sat on the ground and "in" the kart, as opposed to on top of it, like it is nowadays.

Yes, it's called "the driver's right foot" 👍🏼
