ULTIMATE TUNING TIPS: Front Track Width - POWER REPUBLIC 

Although I do not race karts I do like the technical aspect of tunning chassis without suspension. A few months ago I was literally looking for videos on the tunning aspect of the kart chassis and found very few videos regarding the subject. And now on these last few months there is literally a ton of info on your channel regarding the topic. Great content. Apreciate the info.

This series is simple but effective. Thanks and people seem to love too!

Keep em coming Dez! Really like the format of this video series. Would like to hear your tips and tricks on Ackerman. Maybe discuss standard vs optional steering shaft. Cheers.

Derek, these tips are really great. You explain the why/cause & effect rather than the just the how-to. Was simple to understand. I wish i lived in Qld so we could come race up there.

Thanks Dez! Great stuff as always. I'm will running my tony kart at thursday at the track @Genk. Lets find out what a new setup is going to do for me. Greetings Jordy

Luv your vids , always recommending them to new people coming to karting

Great work on the videos, learning quite a bit from you.

Would love a video on the difference between 17 and 25mm stub axles and the advantage of each.

Subscribed. On track to buy my first LO206 in March! Just gotta get that money right haha

Incredible! Removed 10mm per side. (Leaving only a 10mm per side) very narrow I guess but Kart handled so well! So responsive and effortless steering! Wonder what a a larger Hub will feel like! Thanks again! Wondering if new hubs come with bearings already installed

Good work mate.

Great video Dez

Hey! I’m fairly new to karting and I constantly struggle with oversteer. The rear slides out early/mid corner. I have watched your videos but am still struggling. I drive on Spa Francorchamps Karting track this weekend and was hoping you could give me a tip or two on what to try. Love your stuff, thanks for all the information!

Really do appreciate your work, thanks for posting. I like and subscribe.

My engine is at your shop right now :)

😮

Nice

What would be your go to for a 4s kart, short or longer front hub? Some of the arrow x5 4s chassis here come with hub integrated in the wheel. what is the advantage of that?

Hey Power Republic great video! Just a newbie question. Are the Arrow X5 and Arrow X3 the same chassis? Is the design the same? Is it possible for the brakes, steering parts etc etc from an X3 to go on an X5? Thanks, heaps.

Hi, great video. Few questions if I may. Does the front width also affect the front grip? I was having Tony kart Krypton 32 ( shifter) for five years and this year I could net get new chassis or used one in good condition, so I switched to Maranello. It is totally different driving experience. Kart is much more difficult or heavier to handle. It requires more strength, although it is hard to explain. So until I switch back to Tony kart I need to live with that and try to find better set up. I set up my front to “neutral” but it stil feels very heavy on a steering wheel. Any suggestion what to do and not to compromise front grip to much. Thanks

will a longer hub allow me to turn in faster than a shorter one? will that affect the rear grip of the overall chassis setup?

You said understeer twice. Did you mean oversteer when you spaced it to 35mm? Thanks,

what would you do if you were racing a circle track like i do

I am running on a small twisty track in a KZ class (750 meters with lots of corners). I feel a bit oversteer and instability. Does this mean my front settings need to be more narrow? Thanks a lot for the content :).

What if the track is twisty, but fast ? Would you run narrow or wide width ?

Do you need to grease the front stub axle under the hubs ?

" so tuning karts is very simple" hahaha for some! not me

Nope, this would not give you better MPG.
