10. Tuning Bars (Front Torsion Bars)
Each chassis is supplied with a ‘Flat’ steel front torsion bar. This bar can be replaced with three (3)
additional round 30mm bars made of different wall thicknesses.
The added torsion bars come with a 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm wall thickness. Each bar improves the
front-end effectiveness during changing track conditions.
The 2.0mm is the stiffest, which effectively allows the front-end to work better during high-grip
levels; however, it will require increased input and strength from the driver as well.
Many REMO RACING Team Drivers prefer the
1.0mm bar Part Number 0235.FAK – 1,0mm (see picture)
10A. Tuning Bars (Rear Torsion Bar)
Kosmic Racing Karts are provided with only one (1) style rear torsion bar. The bar is made of steel
and measures 470mm (PN 0235.GA). The bar is round on each end at 30mm with the centre being
flattened to resemble a ‘Blade’. Since the rear torsion bar is manufactured in a ‘Blade’ configuration
we also suggest using it in the horizontal position, thus the blade laying flat.
In typical dry conditions we recommend to NOT use the rear bar. The rear bar will make the chassis
more stable; however, it can cause the chassis to work the tyres too much, which will result in poor
tyre wear and a large possibility of an understeer. *Note: This is a good option if you are looking for
added grip.
When should you use the rear torsion bar? The rear torsion bar has its main advantages in longer
sweeping corners. If the track layout is made of sweeping corners try the rear bar, but only do this on
applications where the Hp is greater than 100cc application.
