BASELINE SET-UP INFORMATION FOR THE IGNITE K3

FRONT RIDE HEIGHT
Front ride height can be adjusted for
two reasons: to adjust cross weight
percentages and to adjust front end
responsiveness. A standard Ignite K3
has three adjustment shims on top of
the spindle, and three adjustment
shims on the bottom of the spindle.
Shims can be moved and adjusted
accordingly.
PROBLEM: The front end grips too much, creating oversteer through the corner.
SOLUTION: Dropping the spindle down 1 shim will help move the center of gravity
(C.O.G.) to the rear of the kart, reducing the front end responsiveness and increasing
rear end grip levels.
PROBLEM: I can’t get the front end to be as responsive as I want it to be.
SOLUTION: Raise the spindle 1 shim at a time. This will move the C.O.G. to the front of
the kart and increase your front weight percentage, resulting in an increase in front
end grip levels.
PROBLEM: While scaling, the front weights are off 10lbs from RF to LF.
SOLUTION: Drop the spindle 1 shim on the light side. This will raise that corner and
create a shift of an average of 6lbs and help balance out the front weight transfer.
