Have any of you F200 racers ever used an all 32 mm chassis in the F200 class?

I run an American built chasis (Emmick) which isn't measured metric. Its chromoly material and is stiff as hell.
I believe Mitch from Utah runs a metric chassis (Monza by Birel). He might have a good answer for you.
Any comments Mitch?

Shannons running a 32mm Monza with great sucess, it takes a a little work to free it up when the track gets grippy.
We also have a 32mm MBA, 32 Tony and 30/32 Arrow with a 50mm axle that work pretty well.
What we have done on Shannons is:
Seat 5mm below the frame rails
3cm forward
B Freeline or VS Shockwave Axle, the Shockwave Sportsman axles is going to be tried this summer.
remove caster .5 caster pill 1.5 in the summer
Removed the third bearing

Thanks for the reply, Mitch. My Animal setup is working pretty well on my CRG Heron 32/30 chassis, so I was figuring an F200 would work OK on my GP6 32/32 chassis, as the F200 has a lot more power. That chassis is just sitting around, and all I need is a seat, medium axle, and sprocket carrier (and another motor!), and I can have two working karts ...
Another question, are you guys all running #219 chains and sprockets, or could I use my #35 stuff?
I assume my 2 disk Vortex clutch would be OK. What rpm are you engaging at? On my Animal, it engages at 4000 rpm...
Thanks!

I am sure your clutch would work, we have tried some 2 disc clutches but have found 3-5 tenths just bolting on a 3 disc Tomar (We haven't used any other 3 disc to compare) over the 2 disc.
On the Yamaha and Honda we engage the clutch around 4800 rpm

We use 35 chain because of a better/easier to get selection of split gears.
