TWO WHEEL DRIVE (LIVE) AXLE
OVERVIEW
This system uses a continuous 1-1/4” axle (no step) with solid drive hubs on both ends. Because both wheels drive, more
power is transferred to the ground and spin-outs are reduced. However, this system by design forces the go-kart in a
straight line, so steering e
ff
ort is increased. Note that castor settings for the front spindles are di
ff
erent from and speci
fi
c
to the axle con
fi
guration.
FAQ’S
Q: THE GO-KARTS ARE VERY HARD TO STEER; CAN THE CASTOR BE CHANGED TO REDUCE THE STEERING
EFFORT?
A: Yes, the go-kart should be tuned to each speci
fi
c track. Move the spindles toward “
fl
at-neutral steer” one notch and
drive the go-kart. If the go-kart performs well (does not push or slide the front wheels through the turn), then proceed to
next notch until “push” becomes a problem. Any movement toward “
fl
at” will reduce the steering e
ff
ort.
