ADJUSTING FOR HOPPING
A driver may feel the kart hop through the middle of the corner, all the way to the exit.
This is usually a result of the chassis binding up through the corner. This happens
when the chassis does not flex properly through the center of the kart. Hopping is
most common under high grip conditions. Basic theory would mandate that if there
is more grip on the track, the chassis needs less mechanical grip.
NOTE: Before making any changes to correct a hop, ensure that the driver is not
trying to use both pedals at the same time, or trail braking, through the corner and
is not trying to slide the kart through the corner. Minimal wheel input is key to a
balanced handling kart.
PROBLEM: The kart hops through the center of the corner.
A list of possible fixes, in order of severity include:
Narrow the front track width
Widen the rear track width
Decrease the caster angle
Change to a stiffer rear axle
Add a pair of seat struts
Raise the front spindle height (lowering the front ride height)
Lower the rear axle height (raising the rear ride height)
Lower the seat, vertically, as much as possible
