● Place the kart on a trolley.
● Unscrew the 3 Nylstop nuts from the rear wheels with the
proper size wrench, and then remove wheels.
● Using a rule (1) or any depth gauge, measure between
the hub base (2) and the top of the axle (3).
● Undo the CHC screws (4) of the rear hub with an
appropriate wrench until the hub can slide along the axle
shaft (6) and cotter pin (5).
● Move the hub (7) to the desired position with the rule (1)
in place against the hub base (2).
● Retighten and block the CHC (4) screws.
● Repeat the operation on the other hub.
● Replace both wheels following the rotation direction
indicated on tyre wall.
● Replace locknuts (Nylstop) and tighten securely.
●
A rear tracking width is measured from the
outside of the rims (left and right).
●
If the rear tracking width is too wide, it tends
to increase sliding. If the rear tracking width is
too narrow, it leads to a bumpy chassis.
► Badly tightened wheels may lead to severe,
even fatal injuries.
► Check that the hub key (5) is correctly
positioned.
► Never position the hubs beyond the
maximum allowed width: it may lead to
severe or even fatal injuries.
5.3.2 - Position of rear axle
On most tracks, the correct axle position is the middle one.
This corresponds to a low position of the chassis relative to
the ground.
● A larger ground clearance means more grip
whereas a lower ground clearance means more
sliding.
5.3.3 - Type of axle
The stiffness of the axle plays an important part in the
behaviour of the kart.
● Visit the ITAKA web site for different axle types.
● A flexible axle suits high grip conditions (heat or gum on
the track).
● A stiff axle suits low grip conditions (rain, humid track,
cold with little gum track).
In order to get the best out of your kart, do not hesitate to
test different stiffness of axle :
