7. Rear Ride Height Adjustments
Kosmic Karts that have been produced from 2006 and beyond are equipped with a three (3) position
rear carriage adjustment. This is a nice feature with gives the owner ample room to adjust the rear
axle of their chassis. Each chassis comes standard with the axle placed in the centre position of holes.
We highly recommend starting with the rear ride height in the centre and adjusting as needed once at
the track. Typically the adjustments here are not very frequent, however, when adjustments are made
and in the right direction positive gains will be found on the stopwatch.
LOWERING THE REAR RIDE HEIGHT
This essentially means raising the axle to the top set of holes, which will conversely lower the
chassis position to the track surface. The typical reasoning behind this move is to ‘free’ the back of
the chassis, therefore, reducing the grip level. How does this work? Essentially by doing so you have
reduced the chassis effort to release or lift the inside rear tyre during cornering, which can be crucial
in optimizing a racing Karts performance.
Note:
Lifting the inside rear tyre too much, will cause more negative problems than being a benefit.
The benefit of this move will be noticed under braking also, with the chassis closer to the track
surface, general braking will result in a less nervous chassis.
RAISING THE REAR RIDE HEIGHT
This option can yield effective results, but rarely. This change will increase chassis rear grip level.
